On 6 April, one of the most important organ works of all time, the mystical and deeply theological cycle about the birth of Christ by the composer Olivier Messiaen, will be performed at Paliesius Manor. The performer is Dainius Sverdiolas, a talented organist who has studied Messiaen‘s work all his life.
Organist Dainius Sverdiolas (born in 1956) has given numerous organ recitals in Lithuanian concert halls and churches, has represented Lithuanian music culture at organ music festivals in Lithuania and abroad and has played the organs made by some of the most renowned masters of Western Europe. His artistic interests include monumental organ repertoire pieces from different epochs. The organist’s most notable achievement is the preparation of a 5 concert cycle that comprised all of Messiaen’s works.
La Nativité du Seigneur was created in 1935 and premiered on 27 February 1936 at La Trinité Church. Olivier Messiaen was only 26 when he composed this great masterpiece.
