glasbena društva v dolgem 19. stoletju: med ljubiteljsko in profesionalno kulturo

1908: at that time Glasbena Matica founded its own philharmonic orchestra
(Ljubljana Concert Orchestra, Ljubljana Philharmonic, Slovene Philhar-
monic), and Hubad sought good and experienced musicians in Prague and
Vienna. The first conductor was Václav Talich (1908–1910). It would also be
interesting to trace the fates of other Slovenes in the Slavic Singing Society
who started out as regular singers but eventually rose to become, for exam-
ple, deputy choirmasters.55

55 Hubad’s student Beno/Benno Serajnik successively served as vice-president and
choirmaster (1907, 1908). Apart from singing, he also performed as a violinist and
was active in the Slovanská beseda society. Baritone Ivan Žirovnik was repeatedly
elected to the society’s committee around 1900, was a member of the society’s vocal
quartet, and in 1904 received the JUDr. degree. In 1907 he briefly served as assistant
choirmaster.
