Marjan Kozina

Marjan Kozina (1907–1966), a composer, music pedagogue, writer and translator, after completing his education at the Novo Mesto Gymnasium, began studying philosophy and mathematics in Ljubljana and also improving his musical knowledge at the Ljubljana Conservatory and later in Vienna and Prague. After returning to the then Kingdom of Yugoslavia, he conducted the choir and orchestra of the Maribor Glasbena Matica, taught at the Belgrade Music Academy and joined the partisans, while after the war he worked as the director of the newly founded Slovenian Philharmonic and a professor at the Ljubljana Academy of Music. In 1953, he was elected a full member of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts. With his composing, to which he was passionately devoted and which encompassed symphonic and stage music as well as vocal and film music, he greatly enriched Slovenian post-war musical creation. His work, which included writing and translating texts on music theory and aesthetics, earned him several awards.

With the digital collection, to which there was added a part of the digitized legacy of Marjan Kozina, we pay tribute to the memory of the composer and mark both the 60th anniversary of his death and the 280th anniversary of the founding of the Novo Mesto Gymnasium, from which the composer graduated in 1925.
