On 20 July come and listen to the rarely performed Java Suite of indescribable beauty and complexity by the legendary Litvak pianist, composer and teacher Leopold Godowsky. This cycle of 12 pieces was inspired by Indonesia’s unique nature, architectural monuments, musical and cultural traditions, which the composer witnessed during his visit to the island of Java in 1922. This will be the first performance of this work in Lithuania.

The programme will be performed by pianist Dainius Vaičekonis, professor and director of keyboard studies at Seattle Pacific University (USA), who has been working for many years to revive Godowsky’s legacy.

Dr. Dainius Vaičekonis has an active performance career as a soloist and collaborative artist in the U.S. and Europe. He is the winner of the Francis Walton Award Tour Competition and the University of Washington Concerto Competition, as well as a prize winner in the International Franz Schubert Piano Competition in Dortmund, Germany.
