At Paliesius manor, we will start the colourful month of October with colourful music! On 4 October, two talented performers, pianist Emilija Žukauskaitė and cellist Giedrius Žukauskas, will present Fauré’s Sonatas for cello and piano, rarely heard in Lithuania.

Fauré’s late works are a feast for chamber music lovers. This music is full of appreciation for natural beauty and is enriched by the intensity of the great cultural and secular changes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, the sonatas for cello and piano written by this great impressionist cannot be placed in any clear-cut epochal framework. These works are almost like modern paintings, done by a man with a romantic soul. They are youthful landscapes by an artist who has achieved undisputed recognition and true wisdom, where even premonitions of the end of life are transformed into colourful butterflies fluttering in a meadow illuminated by the setting sun.

Performance date: 2025-10-04 16:00

Programme: Gabriel Fauré

Performers: Emilija Žukauskaitė (piano, Lithuania / France), Giedrius Žukauskas (cello, Lithuania / Germany)

The concert “Golden Era” will feature the most popular jazz melodies of the 20th century, works from 1920 to 1950. Later they became jazz standards, and the period between the First and Second World Wars has come to be known as the golden era of jazz. During this period, jazz music became an important cultural and social phenomenon, and the works of that era have remained popular to this day.

Pianist Povilas Jaraminas and singer Agnė Sabulytė will perform works by G. Gershwin, E. Garner, B. Golson, G. Miller, V. Young, D. Ellington, C. Porter, J. Kern, J. Kander and other composers, which were presented by the most prominent jazz legends of the time, including J. Garland, F. Sinatra, E. Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, and many others. Most of these songs were written for musicals or films, but they have also become well-established as songs in their own right.

Performance date: 2025-10-25 16:00

Programme: G. Gershwin, E. Garner, B. Golson, G. Miller,  V. Young, D. Ellington, C. Porter, J. Kern, J. Kander, etc
