Photo: Janez Er\u017ee<\/p>\n<p>The year 2026 will mark a special chapter in the history of the competition. After eight years, the Slovenian national choral competition Na\u0161a pesem will once again \u2013 for the third time \u2013 be complemented by the final of the European Grand Prix for Choral Singing (EGP), the most prestigious competition in the world of choral music, held under the honorary patronage of the President of the Republic of Slovenia, Nata\u0161a Pirc Musar.<br \/>\nThis event represents the highest international level and is organized by the Public Fund for Cultural Activities of the Republic of Slovenia in cooperation with the European Grand Prix for Choral Singing Association (EGP) \u2013 an international association of six leading European choral competitions. The Gallus \u2013 Maribor Competition has been a full member of the EGP association since 2008, while the association itself has been active since 1988.<br \/>\nThe winners of each member competition compete in the following season in the final for one of the most prestigious international recognitions in the field of choral singing. The 2026 final will be particularly remarkable for Slovenian musical creativity: two Slovenian choirs will perform in the final, which is a rare occurrence in the history of the competition. Their appearance on the home stage represents an exceptional recognition of Slovenian choral culture and an important moment for Slovenian cultural space.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p><strong>SPREMLJAJTE NAS NA:<br \/>\n<\/strong>W:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallusmaribor.si\/\">www.gallusmaribor.si<\/a><br \/>\nFB:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/galluscompetition\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/galluscompetition<\/a><br \/>\nIG:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/galluscompetition\/?fbclid=IwAR0ugWvpDxIF53IttGy-2zahriBi0KRga_bk5UU4TcpDzloVKcXQYrDFtYA\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/galluscompetition\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:50% !important;margin-top : 50px;margin-bottom : 0px;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : calc( 0.04 * calc( 100% - 0px ) );padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : calc( 0.04 * calc( 100% - 0px ) );}@media only screen and (max-width:1050px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 0px;margin-left : 0px;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 0px;margin-left : 0px;}}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-large wp-image-9459 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gallusmaribor.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_03_12_mzt_mb_egp_26_1-1024x683.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.gallusmaribor.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_03_12_mzt_mb_egp_26_1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27683%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201024%20683%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27683%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gallusmaribor.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_03_12_mzt_mb_egp_26_1-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.gallusmaribor.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_03_12_mzt_mb_egp_26_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gallusmaribor.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_03_12_mzt_mb_egp_26_1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gallusmaribor.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_03_12_mzt_mb_egp_26_1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.gallusmaribor.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_03_12_mzt_mb_egp_26_1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gallusmaribor.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_03_12_mzt_mb_egp_26_1-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.gallusmaribor.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_03_12_mzt_mb_egp_26_1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gallusmaribor.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_03_12_mzt_mb_egp_26_1-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.gallusmaribor.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_03_12_mzt_mb_egp_26_1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gallusmaribor.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_03_12_mzt_mb_egp_26_1.jpg 1885w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4 fusion-text-no-margin\" style=\"text-align:right;font-size:12px;color:var(--awb-color5);margin-right:10px;\"><p style=\"text-align: right;\">The winners of the last Maribor Grand Prix in 2018 were The Resonanz Children\u2019s Choir.
