Due to unforeseen circumstances, this concert, which was scheduled for May 28th, has been rescheduled for September 9th.
Three talented performers – Silvija Vaitkevičiūtė (violin), Mindaugas Zimkus (tenor) and Paulė Gudinaitė (piano) – invite you to the dreamy and subtle world of French music. The music of French and French-spirited composers from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries combines impressionistic light, sensitive lyricism, irony, and a slight touch of melancholy.
The evening is centered around the intertwining sounds of the violin, voice, and piano. In vocal compositions, French poetry unfolds through an intimate relationship between music and words – from dreamy melancholy to a playful, sometimes ironic look at feelings. In the instrumental works, the same emotional world is extended without text: through the flexibility of the line, harmonic tension, and subtle changes in timbre.
The music of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel exudes an intangible atmosphere, a play of light and shadow, while the works of Gabriel Fauré are imbued with inner calm, gentle longing, and elegance. Francis Poulenc's songs reveal a more modern, sometimes even paradoxical relationship with the text, while the works of Ernest Chausson and Camille Saint-Saëns give the program a broader emotional spectrum – from tense lyrical expression to dramatic movement. In George Enescu's songs, the French tradition takes on a distinctive, personal and somewhat unexpected tone.
