All the bonds that make up a water molecule are the result of quantum effects, especially the hydrogen bond, which is the result of one of the most unusual quantum phenomena - the zeropoint vibration. These vibrations are due to Heisenberg's famous uncertainty principle. Even if the universe were to freeze to a temperature of absolute zero, these vibrations would still exist ... In the case of water they cause the strengthening of its structural molecular bonds ... This results in a highly cohesive fluid that is the foundation of life.

The concert aims to bring the language of contemporary music closer to young listeners. The central piece that will be performed is the composition titled Vezi (Bonds) of the young Slovenian composer and professor at the Edgar Willems Music Center Melani Popit. The piece was created on the initiative and with the support of the festival New Music Forum, especially for GCEW students. In addition to the instrumentalists, the younger pupils of the musical introduction and solfeggio groups participate in it by performing various musical elements, which are a key part of Willems lessons. At the concert, students of the recorder, flute, cello and piano will present themselves with various works by contemporary composers. It is a re-performance of the Young Musicians for Young Musicians concert, which was held on November 17th 2022 in the Slovenian Philharmonic as part of the Ljubljana New Music Forum festival.
