5TH INTERNATIONAL JOSEPH ACHRON MUSIC FESTIVAL "Vocalization" Asta KRIKŠČIņAITĖ (soprano) Milda UMBRUSEVIČIņIŘĖ (piano) Gleb PYŠNIAK (cello) Voice, cello and piano meet in this concert as three equal storytellers. Each of them has its own timbre, its own breathing and its own inner language. Sometimes they merge into a single musical fabric, sometimes they contrast, and sometimes they just silently complement what can no longer be said in words. The axis of this program is the human voice in the broadest sense: not only singing, but also an inner monologue, a whisper of memory, the peace of a lullaby, the pain of an elegy, a mask of irony and a longing confession. Here, the music talks about something that is fragile, personal and hard to name - love, loss, waiting, loneliness, tenderness and the human need to be heard. The program will feature the music of André Previn, Joseph Achron, Nadia Boulanger, Jules Massenet and Kurt Weill. It is a journey from wordless vocalization to theatrical song, from the tenderness of a lullaby to the longing of an elegy, from an intimate chamber dialogue to a vivid stage character. This multi-layered program will be performed by soprano Asta Krikščiūnaitė, pianist Milda Umbrusevičiūtė and cellist Gleb Pyšniak. What unites them is a delicate ensemble listening, musical maturity and the ability to create a story where every sound becomes meaningful. PROGRAM:André Previn - "Vocalise"
