The roots of our choir date back to the 1980 when the choir was established. In 1990 at the time a student at the Academy of Music, Anica Smrtnik born Stele took over the conductor’s baton, and she holds it ever since. The abundance of choir members fluctuated over the years from less than 18 up to a maximum of 50 singers. Currently choir consists of 30 members. Every year we participate in choir competitions at home and one international, where we almost never get back without the highest awards. We gladly respond to any invitations to various municipal celebrations, exhibitions, anniversaries and other throughout Slovenia. Mixed choir Odmev is a choir with tradition, although this is not confirmed by the average age of members (32 years), but by the sound image. In our repertoire you can find the old folk songs in more recent arrangements, church songs, Negro spiritual and classical and contemporary challenging competition scores. We always like to accept new singers among ourselves, who are not judged by their musical education, because we sing with our heart and for our soul.
Anica Smrtnik (born Stele) was born on 29th of june in 1971. At the age of eight she started to study piano in the School of Music Kamnik. Next year she began to play the organ at the local church and soon she took over the leadership of the local church choir. After finishing the elementary school, she enrolled in the Central School of Music in Ljubljana and in 1995 graduated from the Academy of Music in music pedagogy. She was still a student when she took over the Mixed choir Odmev Kamnik, previously called Titan Kamnik.
