As a matter of symbolic coincidence, we will celebrate the birthday of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875–1911) with a concert, in which his great grandson, Rokas Zubovas, will perform and comment on his output for piano. The programme highlights a number of his piano works that illustrate best his creative laboratory and stylistic evolution from folk song arrangements to the Fugue in B-flat minor.

This crossover programme is dedicated to works for cello, accordion and electronics performed by two highly original and broad-minded artists who are always eager to challenge the standards of professional excellence. The dialogues between live acoustic instruments and electronic tracks will startle with astounding sonorities, while the play of light and shadows are likely to evoke vivid associations.

“Immortality” is the name of a project by young performers dedicated to promoting music by Lithuanian composers. The beginnings of our musical culture lie in the archaic sutartinės songs, the elements of which permeate the work by contemporary Lithuanian artists. It is music that may prefigure the course towards survival and immortality of a nation. The immortality of music, love and belief in eternity.

Isadora Agnė Sabulytė (mezzo-soprano)
A solo performance - opera Isadora is another project by young artists that received enthusiastic public and critical response, as well as the Golden Cross of the Stage award. Inspired by the life of legendary dancer Isadora Duncan, this opera tells a story about a woman gripped in psychotic idolisation of and manic identification with this artist.

Conductor Robertas Šervenikas
Programme: Vidmantas Bartulis, Zita Bružaitė, Giedrius Puskunigis, Gavin Bryars, Pēteris Vasks
Pre-concert talk with composers Pēteris Vasks, Vidmantas Bartulis, Zita Bružaitė and performers at 5 pm.
The music to be performed at this concert will envelop us in blissful tranquillity and timelessness. Works by Latvian Pēteris Vasks and Briton Gavin Bryars will bathe our ears in varying musical states and shimmering quiescence. While new pieces by Vidmantas Bartulis, Zita Bružaitė and Giedrius Puskunigis will speak to us with that bred-in-the-bone Lithuanian sound comparable to the soughing of pine forests at the Baltic Sea.

“There is no absolute, cosmic emptiness. But there is silence, in which dwells an incredibly rich and almost imperceptible world of images and sounds whose existence is well covered under our everyday hustle and bustle. Cinema often enables us to see deeper and more than our naked eye,” says film director Audrius Stonys.

“Synthetic Swamp” will keep our ears pricked by making all kinds of exotic sounds (sometimes reminiscent even of those heard in the Amazon jungle), by translating the signs of the zodiac into sounds, and by rendering ‘patchy writings’ by Lithuanian neoromantic composers. Mike Svoboda will delight us with his ravishing trombone techniques, Saulius Astrauskas—with his dexterous management of the percussion, and Arnoldas Gurinavičius—with his lithe command of the double bass.
