In the final concert of Contemporary Lithuanian Music Festival “Music Autumn”, four compositions commissioned by the Lithuanian Composers’ Union and LRT CLASSICS are presented, specially created for the festival, revealing different interpretations of this year’s theme – performative music.

PROGRAM

Andrius Šiurys. Three fried eggs with toasted bread and a cup of coffee are the elements for Jerome’s night lunch (premiere; commissioned by the Lithuanian Composers’ Union) 

Rūta Vitkauskaitė. Preritzos (premiere; commissioned by the LRT Classics)

The Chordos Quartet, boasting extensive experience in the realm of contemporary music, has successfully shattered the conventional image of a classical string quartet on multiple occasions. Actively engaging in today’s cultural landscape, the Chordos Quartet arrives in Klaipėda accompanied by saxophonist Simonas Šipavičius, who performs under the pseudonym “Sheep Effect.” He adeptly melds modern jazz with experimental music. Their performance promises a session of relaxation amidst chaotic soundscapes, interwoven with minimalist rhythms and melodies. The evening’s program will feature compositions from the Sheep Effect albums, along with several new, previously unheard pieces.

The first event of the 25th anniversary program Pre/position.

Preposition is a function word that typically combines with a noun phrase to form a phrase which usually expresses a modification or predication, from Latin meaning “to put in front”.

The String Quartet CHORDOS celebrates the 25th anniversary! They became a synonym for quality in Lithuanian scene of contemporary music as much as the inspiration to audience and colleagues. CHORDOS has performed with great musicians of classical and contemporary, jazz, pop, world music in Lithuania and abroad.

The firs event is called by the name of preposition FROM and it takes place at Nacional Art Gallery.
