Harpist Joana Daunytė had an idea to arrange Čiurlionis’ music for the harp for a long time. She missed Lithuania and wanted to expand her harp repertoire with Lithuanian music, so she finally did it. Daunytė says that the composer’s early works are similar to harp music and believes that Čiurlionis would have created pieces for the harp if there were only harpists around him at the time.
Daunytė took 16 Čiurlionis’ pieces for piano and arranged them for harp. She performed and recorded the pieces in the Paliesius manor studio with Baltic Mobile Recordings and released the CD Čiurlionis on the Harp Strings with Naxos, the world’s leading classical music label.
During the concert at Paliesius, Daunytė will perform the arranged Čiurlionis’ music for the harp, as well as some music from the composer’s French contemporaries.
