This trio has celebrated its five-year anniversary. In the middle of 2017 Neda Malūnavičiūtė and Vytautas Labutis, two old stage partners, started teaming up with young and creative pianist Richardas Banys.

No wonder, since its first days in 1990 this tandem was always fuelled by experiments. During long years of partnership, Vytautas and Neda have developed an unprecedented telepathic sense of ensemble and way of communicating, which empowers them to realise any idea. Their improvisational vocabulary is inexhaustible.

Trio performs a programme of original compositions by Vytautas Labutis, Richardas Banys and Neda Malūnavičiūtė and several other authors.. With this line-up, the ensemble has already performed at Lithuanian Birštonas, Vilnius Mama Jazz, Kiev „Jednist“ jazz festivals, as well as at many Lithuanian locations.

Jausmė is a composer, singer, songstress, who is one of the not-so-many artists who decided to spread the word about the kanklės, a traditional Lithuanian zither-harp, beyond the borders of Lithuania. In her compositions, with the help of her voice, 29 strings, Lithuanian and English languages, she weaves the styles of folklore, soul, minimalism into a cosy blanket, decorated with elements of dub, jazz, post-rock, electronica and other genres she enjoys.

After half a decade of musical work (solo and other projects, documentary soundtrack in collaboration with BBC, electronic music collaborations, organising events) and life in Bristol, UK, the performer came back to the motherland in the summer of 2020. There, inspired by her roots, familiar forests, language, people’s stories and musicians such as Thom Yorke, Moses Sumney, The Cinematic Orchestra, Lianne La Havas etc., in March 2022, she released a solo album ‘Namolio’ about her journey back home and to her authenticity, through losses and discoveries, realisations and unlearning.

Performers: Jausmė Elena Stonkutė (kanklės, vocals, loop station), Gabrielius Rimeika (double bass, bass guitar) | Lithuania

Over the years, and in many corners of the world, Pierre Réach has acquired a reputation of an outstanding pianist performing many spectacular works.

His first prize at the Olivier Messiaen international competition announced him to the public. Mr. Réach was also a prize winner of the Pozzoli competition in Italy, Maria Canals, and Jaen in Spain, and more. He studied at the Paris Conservatory under Yvonne Lefébure and Yvonne Loriod, with Maria Curcio in London, and received regular advice from Arthur Rubinstein, Alexis Weissenberg, and Paul Badura-Skoda.

In his vast repertoire, which ranges from Bach to Olivier Messiaen, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann and Chopin, the works of Beethoven have always occupied a special place. For him nowadays, being able to play the 32 sonatas of this composer, with whom he has never ceased to engage with passion, represents a real achievement and a synthesis in a life of tenacious will, hard work, and ever higher demands for perfection.

On 10 June, we invite all to a long-awaited concert: a solo recital by the talented pianist Viktoras Paukštelis!

Viktoras Paukštelis is often described as an artist of a unique nature, as he brings to the public a fusion of his two talents: painting and piano playing. For him, music and art are intertwined, complementary components: the unpolished impulsiveness of his paintings adds experimental boldness to his music on stage, while the visual work of colours in creating form becomes an aural experience which is transferred to the pianistic plane. This synthesis of the two arts has no parallel on the classical stage.

Viktoras Paukštelis performs in Lithuania, US, France, Germany, Scandinavia, Lithuania, France, Germany and Scandinavia, and participates in Lithuanian and international festivals. After a highly successful performance at New York’s Carnegie Hall, The New York Concert Review called Victor’s sense of rhythm “top-notch” and his playing “sincere, robust and stirring”.

Performance date: 2023-06-10 17:00

Programme: J. S. Bach, F. Chopin, S. Rachmaninoff
