Koncertas EUROPOS FANTAZIJA | PETRAS VYŠNIAUSKAS (saksofonas), ALEKSANDRA ŽVIRBLYTĖ (fortepijonas)

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

PETRAS VYŠNIAUSKAS (saxophone)
ALEKSANDRA ŽVIRBLYTĖ (piano)

"European fantasy" - perhaps the only concert project in Lithuania, during which you will hear both original works and improvisations based on the music of all 27 European Union 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."

"The concert of Petr Vyšniauskas with the 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. Unforgettable concert..."

Emmanuel de Gouvello, France

"Lithuanian soprano saxophonist Petras Vyšniauskas is, in my opinion, one of the most original musicians focusing on on this instrument, his bright phrases expand 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 sensual musical picture right here on stage without restraint. Her calling is not only technically perfect, but also spiritually rich. A great technique becomes only a means to express a unique perception of music."

Steen Sogaard. "Morgenavisen Jyllandspoeten", Denmark
