the field. The most distinguished among his photographs are those of masks, which he

Master Adamiè was a recipient of many awards at state level and from societies and
arts institutions. The most prestigious among the state awards was the aforementioned
decoration of the People’s Assembly of Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia (1946),
the Order of Labour with the red flag (1961), Order of Merit to the Nation with silver rays,
bestowed by Josip Broz – Tito, the president of Republic of Yugoslavia (1972), Order of
the Republic with golden wreath (1982), and last but not least, the Silver Order of
Freedom of the Republic of Slovenia for exceptional achievements in the field of music
(1992). As the author of film music, he received three Golden Arenas at the international
Pula Festival (1955, 1957, and 1958). Adamiè was also the recipient of other arts awards,
the most outstanding among them are the award of the Rio de Janeiro popular song
Festival (1967), several awards for cooperation with the Artistic Ensemble of the
Yugoslav Army in Belgrade (1966, 1967, 1971, 1977), many awards at music festivals in
Zagreb, Opatija, Maribor and others. The Yugoslav Composer’s Association awarded him
their Gold Medal (1970); he also received the Award for Yugoslav Entertainers (1977),
and so on. He was also the winner of the Prešeren Award for his life’s work (1979) and the
upanèiè Award of the City of Ljubljana (1993).58
Bojan Adamiè devoted his entire life to music. He was an artist of great creative power
and an outstanding performer in various music genres. He was creating in pioneering
times, when Slovenian jazz, popular songs, chansons, film and incidental music, radio and
television broadcast, and brass orchestra music were all still in a developmental phase.
Moreover, he was also a composer of classical music. In all the areas in which he was
involved, he left an enduring impression, becoming an icon of the 20th century Slovenian
music scene.59
