The music of the trio Rymden is based on three elements: melancholic & atmospheric songwriting, dramatically charged rhythms, and virtuously played jazz of the highest level. The influences of modern jazz, Bach, film music, and even rock music are clearly audible. Interwoven into a mature, relaxed concert experience.

After their previous excursions into the outer cosmos (the highly acclaimed studio albums Reflections and Odysseys, Space Sailors, and the powerful live album RYMDEN+KORK), Rymden have returned to Earth with their new album, Valleys and Mountains. However, as one might expect from the trio of Bugge Wesseltoft, Magnus Öström, and Dan Berglund, the music is not strictly earthbound: the inner cosmos, dreams, and visions offer new spaces to explore, alongside bucolic rambles and treks. The instrumentation and techniques are once again diversified, the styles multiplied; yet all remains indisputably the music of Rymden.

Her albums regularly reach top positions both in the classical charts and the pop charts.

Spend a January afternoon with cabaret songs! Viktoras Gerulaitis will present a concert at Paliesius Manor, during which soprano Jūratė Rudžianskaitė and pianist Eglė Perkumaitė will masterfully perform cabaret songs by William Bolcom and Arnold Weinstein.

Cabaret reflects the ideas of different eras, reveals the spirit and problems of the present day, and is therefore understandable and close to everyone.

Singer Jūratė Rudžianskaitė has a wide repertoire of music by German, Spanish, French, American, and Lithuanian composers. She has performed in France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, and Spain.

Pianist Eglė Perkumaitė has been a laureate of national and international competitions. In more than 40 years of creative work, she has performed in around 900 concerts.

My music is inside the silence, said the composer Morton Feldman. Discover his work on January 30 at Paliesius Manor, through both sound and image.

Morton Feldman’s Patterns in a Chromatic Field (1981), composed for cello and piano, is one of the artist’s most significant late works. The approximately 90-minute composition is woven from subtle, slowly shifting sound patterns, whose repetitions are never identical. Feldman’s creative principle, known as “crippled symmetry” – logic of imperfect symmetry, inspired by the structures of Eastern carpets – becomes a metaphor for the passage of time, attention, and human inconsistency.

In this audiovisual work, Feldman’s creative principles are followed not as a replication of sound or image, but as a way of thinking based on slowness, microvariations, and repetition without a climax. This logic is transposed into today’s context: the chromatic field of screens, notifications, and algorithms, where our attention is constantly fragmented.

Performance date: 2027-01-30 16:00

Programme: Morton Feldman

Performers: Marta Finkelštein (piano), Arnas Kmieliauskas (cello), Lauryna Narkevičiūtė (creator of the visuals) | Lithuania

On February 13, come on a musical journey through Old Europe!

Singer Renata Dubinskaitė has collected the most beautiful melodies from many European countries – folk or similar songs by anonymous authors. The concert starts with the oldest surviving melody, engraved on a stone in Ancient Greece.

This concert is a musical trip through old Europe, an acquaintance with tunes typical to different nations and stories about love and war, joys and sufferings. Early music and folk music will be performed using a crossover of styles. Dubinskaitė, with her knowledge of early music interpretation and folk music experience, will be accompanied by classical guitar performer, composer, and singer Chris Ruebens, who has arranged the pieces, and Remis Rančys will add jazz improvisations, using the colourful timbers of saxophones, flutes, melodica, and percussion.
