Lojze Lebič (born 23 August 1934) is a Slovenian composer and conductor of choral and instrumental music.Lebič was born on 23 August 1934 in Prevalje, in the Carinthia region of Slovenia (then part of Yugoslavia).[2] Lebič's early style was fairly traditional, but his work from after 1965 demonstrates the influence of the European avant-garde.[3] The opening of Slovenia to foreign travel in the 1950s and 60s allowed for greater musical and cultural exchange with the rest of Yugoslavia and Europe, encouraging the development of a Slovenian avant garde.Lebič's 1965 works Meditacije za dva for viola and cello and the cantata Požgana trava are examples of his use of new melodic and vocal techniques.
