Ukrainian living in Canada artist Dmitrijus Levković was born with two vocations: a pianist and a composer. D. Levković's piano performances have been praised for "extraordinary artistic sophistication" (German daily "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung") and "musical understanding far ahead of most of his peers" (American Record Guide). And the original compositions were praised by Philadelphia's Broad Street Review for their "heartfelt melodies" and "tremendous emotional waves".

D. Levkovičius studied piano art with the legendary Armenian pianist Sergey Babayan and at the Curtis Music Institute in the USA. D. Levkovičius became the winner of many international competitions, won audience and special prizes. The pianist has already performed in such world concert halls as the Berlin Philharmonic, Paris Champs Elysees Theater, New York's Carnegie Hall, Warsaw Philharmonic and others. Tonight, D. Levkovičius' star will shine in Vilnius, where together with the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra, the pianist will perform L. van Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto in E flat major, op. 73, known for its majesty, bright melodies and heroic spirit.

In the second part of the concert, the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra will perform one of the most famous works of the great French romantic Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) - "Fantastic Symphony", whose full title is "Fantastic Symphony: an episode of the artist's life". This symphony is one of the first pieces of program music, and also stands out for its extremely innovative, even revolutionary ideé fixe theme of the time - it depicts the hallucinatory fantasies of H. Berlioz himself, who possessed him because of his unrequited love for the Irish actress Harriet Smithson. True, after the premiere of the symphony, the composer's seven-year suffering came to an end - impressed by the fame of H. Berlioz (musicians such as Ferenc Liszt, Frédéric Chopin, Niccolò Paganini, writers Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo and George Sand were at the premiere), H. Smithson agreed to marry behind the composer. in 1830 The symphony presented in Paris earned H. Berlioz the reputation of one of the most progressive composers of the age.

Tonight, the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra will be conducted by the chief conductor of the National Opera and Ballet Theater Ričardas Šumila.
