2025Anniversaries - 100 Years of the Emil Adamic Teachers Choir of Slovenia - First Day Cover

The Emil Adamič Teachers’ Choir of Slovenia, one of Slovenia’s oldest choirs, has this year embarked on its hundredth year of activity. As its name suggests, it is a pan-Slovenian choir that brings together singers from every corner of the country. The choir has a rich and varied history. Its direct predecessor was founded shortly after the First World War by teachers from Trieste and
the surrounding area. This, however, soon disbanded as a result of increasing pressure during the rise of Fascism. Attempts to establish a teachers’ choir met with better fortune in Ljubljana, where Emil Adamič and choir director Srečko Kumar succeeded in founding a new teachers’ choir in 1925.
