Late Junction, an award-winning BBC Radio 3 programme, is a favourite among music lovers.

The unexpected combinations are surprising and open different contexts for listening to music.

In the tradition of listening established by this programme, we present Late Junctions. The timbre of the voice rarely heard in Lithuanian concert halls (countertenor), the instrument usually associated with the Lithuanian folk repertoire (kanklės), the vocal ensemble, the baroque arias, the minimalist and postmodern works: all of them become the components that create an organic and surprising concert programme.

On 14 February, come on a sensitive journey of music and poetry with a special concert of Lithuanian diaspora music.

The title “In Two Voices” reflects the idea of the concert: the voice will be heard in two ways, both as words sung by a human being and as a musical language coming to life through the piano. Two different voices will merge into one sensitive, seamless experience.

You will hear the tenor Antanas Zakarauskas, one of the most interesting contemporary Lithuanian soloists, who can subtly combine emotional impact, a deep sense of the texts, and a refined musical expression. He will be accompanied by pianist Linas Dužinskas, whose sensitive piano sound will become an integral part of this musical story.

The concert will focus on the works of Bruno Markaitis. His vocal cycle “Sonatas and Fugues”, based on the poems of Kazys Bradūnas, will be at the heart of the concert narrative. The concert will also include music by Čiurlionis, Šenderovas and the song “Mikit, lankos”.

Performance date: 2026-02-14 16:00

Programme: Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, Anatolijus Šenderovas, Bruno Markaitis

M. K. Čiurlionis, The Serpent, looks down to the Man… What does the world know about him, born 150 years ago?

The first musical glimpse at the artist is provided by contemporary Lithuanian composer Giedrius Kuprevičius. His Sonata of The Serpent is inspired by the cycle of paintings of the same name by Čiurlionis. The centrepiece of the programme is a transcription for solo piano of the only string quartet written during the composer’s studies in Leipzig, transcribed by Mūza Rubackytė. Finally – six Druskininkai preludes, composed in three weeks in his native Druskininkai.

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.

Programme: Rymden – Valleys & Mountains
