His "retirement Project" - developing his own theory of gravity - has been a huge inspiration in my own compositional journey late in life.

"Karmina Šilec with her girls and excellent guests certainly knows what she is doing, what she wants, what they all know, what they can do and offer to a full Union Hall which rewarded the performers on Thursday night with long, warm and spontaneous applauses and ovations, suited to the days when the eyes of the whole of cultural Europe are focused on Maribor."
