Gregory Porter su Lietuvos kameriniu orkestru

The largest and brightest international collaboration initiated by the "Midsummer Vilnius" festival.

On July 15th, in the Grand Courtyard of the Palace of Lords, we will start the ninth program of the "Midsummer Vilnius" festival with an impressive concert by a world jazz grandmaster. An exclusive performance by Grammy laureate Gregory Porter together with the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra conducted by Modesto Pitrėnas - only once in Vilnius, under the dizzy midsummer sky.

Superstar Gregory Porter has many fans in Lithuania. His concerts are a feast for the ears of music lovers, for which tickets are sold out instantly.

The world-renowned performer is titled as "The Second Best American Jazz Singer" after Louis Armstrong. Gregory Porter's work transports listeners to a different time and space. In his music, the old origins of jazz are interwoven with stylish and modern soul and gospel soundscapes.

"I didn't start writing music out of an unhappy love or a broken heart. All this is because of my father. That pain in my chest that I've felt since childhood, without experiencing his attention", Gregory Porter has opened up about the origins of his work.

The life of an artist who grew up under the Californian sun is as changeable as the plot of a movie.

After starting his career as a football player, after suffering serious injuries, he ended up in Brooklyn, in the kitchen of his brother's restaurant. The chef at the time also appeared as a crooner*, singing in New York night bars and clubs.

"It doesn't matter if this gift brings me success or poverty, I'll do it," the artist said at the height of his career a decade ago.

Gregory Porter released his debut album in 2010 and achieved international success. In 2012, his work was nominated for the first Grammy Award.

The talented singer's tracks such as "L-O-V-E", "Hey Laura", "Christmas Wish", "Everything's Not Lost", "Smile" ", "Somebody", "Holding On" and many other songs have conquered the playlists of music lovers.
