On 12 October, the duo of Lithuanian pianist Monika Dars and Italian-American cellist Natania Hoffman will return to the Paliesius Manor Concert Hall. Here, the musicians embarked on their musical explorations back in March 2023 while recording their duo’s debut album, Resistance.
They are dynamic soloists and chamber musicians who have appeared on stages in various countries, played solo with European and American orchestras, and won numerous international competitions. The duo of Natania and Monica was formed in Belgium in 2017 and soon won the second prize at the Luigi Nono Chamber Music Competition in Italy. Since then, they have performed together on stages in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Italy and Lithuania, and finally released their debut album.
The album explores four powerful and deeply human works by 20th-century composers from the Soviet Union and the Third Reich, as well as resistance to this music in the 21st-century, both symbolically and politically.
