A variety of eclectic music from classical music, blues, jazz, sophistic music to southern American melodies was be performed under the conductor and soloist John Moon. The String Orchestra, which consists of students of the Diocesan Classical gymnasium, played the Concerto op. 6, nr. 8 by A. Corelli under the baton of Damijan Močnik.
