Please be informed that the programme of the concert “Malediction” has been changed.
Due to an unexpected illness, pianist Kasparas Uinskas will not be able to perform in the concert. As a result, Frédéric Chopin’s Piano Concerto will not be performed. We sincerely apologise to the audience for any inconvenience caused and invite you to discover the updated concert programme.
The new programme will reveal the depth of the string orchestra’s sound and the spiritual power of music. The evening will open with Felix Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 12, a work full of vibrant dramatic energy that reflects the momentum of early Romanticism.
The audience will then be invited into a space of contemplation with Arvo Pärt’s “Trisagion” – a meditative composition of sacred character, where time seems to stand still and music becomes an experience of silence and light.
Deep emotional intensity is conveyed in Raminta Šerkšnytė’s “De profundis”, one of the most prominent Lithuanian contemporary works for string orchestra, distinguished by its dramatic tension and remarkable sonic beauty.
The concert will conclude with Pēteris Vasks’ “Viatore” – a luminous musical journey filled with inner movement, a search for peace, and meaningful reflection.
