A journey into yourself

“It is the most distant course that comes nearest to thyself.”* Poor Tagore! Finding yourself is so much easier in digital age. All we need to do is download an app! Meditation or mindfulness, yoga or marathon, deep thoughts or white noise – the offer is limitless and available to everybody!

99 cents and we are instantly spiritual, balanced, and happy! And that’s not all our app can do! Our spiritual growth is also measured, illustrated with lovely charts and graphs, and automatically updated!

If that made your stomach turn – hurray! It means you are the right one for our next concert announcement. Introducing Travel, Festival Maribor‘s program designed for all those who still believe that the road to knowledge about who we are and why we are here is paved with art.

Join us on Sunday, 11 September for an evening with bass-baritone Josef Wagner and pianist Christian Schmidt, and let the poetic power of Schubert’s Schwanengesang, the youthful innocence of Strauss’s early lieder and the contemplative beauty of Songs of Travel by Vaughan Williams take you on a winding road of human soul.

Take a journey into yourself with beautiful music and your phone switched off.
