XII International M.K. Čiurlionis Music Festival closing concert
"EUROPEAN FANTASY"

Petras Vyšniauskas (saxophone)
Aleksandra Žvirblytė (piano)

A special concert by two famous Lithuanian artists - saxophone great Petros Vyšniauskas and pianist Aleksandra Žvirblytė, dedicated to the 20th anniversary of Lithuania's accession to the European Union. The projects of these two musicians have already conquered the hearts of Lithuanian European music lovers. Both the audience and music critics admire the highest skill of the performers, unique artistic ideas, intriguing combination of classical music masterpieces with spontaneous improvisation, born here and now with thoughts and ideas.

The concert will feature original works and improvisations based on all 27 European Union music of countries.

Two different worlds - classics and the art of improvisation. Two bright personalities, coming from different stylistics, create a new alloy while playing and provoking. New music is born. Unique and unexpectedly organic.

Petras Vyšniauskas:

"I'm not Žvirblytė, but I fly." I'm not Classic, but I found it. I have not seen anything more free and nothing more excellent. I felt Time is running out. I want to get up again."

Aleksandra Žvirblytė:

"Playing what you know well and at the same time not knowing where your fantasy will take you. Allow yourself to be provoked and be provoked, thus coming to freedom of thought. A real artistic trance."

"Petros Vyšniauskas' concert with pianist Aleksandra Žvirblytė was enchanting. The idea is simply incredible. The effect is breathtaking, not only because Peter is constantly taking risks, but also because the music is so delicate and intense that tears begin to gather involuntarily. An unforgettable concert..."

Emmanuel de Gouvello, France

"Lithuanian soprano saxophonist Petras Vyšniauskas, is , in my opinion, one of the most original musicians to focus on this instrument - his vivid phrasing expands with decidedly original intervals, and his sound is powerful - stronger and more precise than Sam Rivers, denser and more concentrated than Steve Lacy, maybe even polyphonic like Evan Parker."

Howard Mandel, New York, USA

"Aleksandra Žvirblytė creates a sensuous musical picture right here on stage. Her calling is not only technically perfect, but also spiritually rich. Excellent technique becomes only a means to express a unique perception of music."

Steen Sogaard. Morgenavisen Jyllandspoeten, Denmark
