MAŽASIS PRINCAS

Pianist Gintaras Januševičius has been surprising his listeners with inventive programs for ten years, including the unforgettable "Dreams" traps', 'All Chopin's Waltzes', 'The New Colossus' or 'The Tales of the Merchant of Venice'. In each program, G. Januševičius, as if a chameleon, reincarnates not only into different characters, but also moves to another era, culture or musical style. After many years of refining his unique programs, he carefully selects the works and, as it were, assembles them into a single musical necklace, which he embellishes with stories, images, acting elements or even smells. With his innovative concert ideas, he charms the listeners of New York, Paris, London, Zurich, Rio de Janeiro, and he also returns to Lithuanian concert halls every year.

Their authors are the well-known Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Georges Bizet, Camille Saint-Saëns, and the lesser-known Jehan Alain, Gabriel Grovlez, Jean-Henri Ravina or Cécile Chaminade.
