The third concert of the Baltic and Nordic Music Festival is dedicated to academic music.

The Kaunas String Quartet with soloist Gunta Gelgote (soprano) is preparing a program for the audience, in which they will play gold fund of modern music and new works. G. Gelgotė's roles in the stage productions of Bronius Kutavičius ("Bear", Thrush – green bird) speak of the soloist's sensitive relationship with the music of the composer B. Kutavičius. Therefore, in this program as well, the soloist chose the vocal cycle "On the shore" (by Jonas Mekos), as well as the composition "Manai zemītei" (lit. "My land") by Latvian composer Indra Riše, and "Lietus mane myli" by Zita Bružaitė. The latter works will be joined by a permanent friend of chamber music - pianist Daiva Stulgytė.

The Kaunas String Quartet, which has been active since 1981, is a permanent nurturer of Lithuanian music, having performed almost all of its activities string quartets by the composer Algimantas Kubiliūnas. With the sixth string quartet, we will congratulate the composer on his birthday, which the author celebrated at the beginning of the summer. The highlight of the festival concert program is Arvo Pärt's "Fratres" (lit. "Brothers"). Writer and former dancer Tereza Rose, whose work has been published in many magazines, anthologies and online publications, explains the essence of the work in this way: "Arvo Pärt's Fratres seems to have all kinds of emotions bubbling just under the surface. Dense, big, life-and-death emotions. Ancient spirituality..."

So this evening will sound emotional, spiritual and simply - music full of beautiful harmonies, plastically flowing melodies, composed from the sounds of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia smilteilios.

The festival is organized by VšĮ "Akantas"
The festival is financed by the Kaunas City Municipality
