Wind Orchestra of Gornja Radgona
The first record of the band performing dates back to 1911, when Radgona was first mentioned as a market. At that time, the band was also first mentioned in a newspaper of the time. The Gornja Radgona Wind Orchestra Cultural Society is developing in accordance with the possibilities and needs of the time.
The orchestra regularly participates in wind orchestra reviews and competitions at home and abroad, and participates in cultural events in the municipality and beyond.
Of particular importance is the cooperation with the neighboring Bad Radkersburg Wind Orchestra, which began in 2006 with the first promenade concert in Bad Radkersburg at the initiative of the Radgona Orchestra. In addition to the traditional promenade concerts, the cooperation has deepened over the years, and this concert is also the result of joint and active work. The desire of both orchestras is for the cooperation to continue and strengthen.
Organizing concerts in the city park has a rich tradition dating back to 1890, and for more than three decades, the Maribor National Hall has continued this tradition. In addition to the social aspect, it has also added a social note, as it primarily offers amateur associations and musical groups from the city and its surroundings the opportunity to perform. Thus, the diverse and varied musical events are provided by brass bands, choirs, chamber ensembles, vocal ensembles, folk singers and musicians, and folklore groups.
From May to September, promenade concerts, accompanied by pleasant meetings and socializing between generations, as well as children's play and laughter, lure many Maribor residents to the green city oasis, and for random visitors, make their visit to one of the most beautiful parks in this part of Europe more enjoyable.
For 2026, we are planning 13 concerts, which will be held every sunny Sunday at 10:30 a.m., and admission will be free.
The concerts in the park were supported by the City of Maribor.
In case of bad weather, the event is cancelled.
