"...Already inviting you on stage. The applause of the audience is ticking, my footsteps are ticking until I reach the middle of the stage. I put my ear to the violin - it is ticking too, like a little heart beating inside. Perhaps it is not the seconds, minutes or hours ticking on the clock. Maybe there is a heart beating inside it too. It beats in the same rhythm as mine, and when I play it, it makes the others beat harder. That's how music goes from heart to heart. And once it's in, it doesn't leave..." (excerpt from the concert narrative)

 

Joseph Aharon's Children's Suite is a concert for the whole family, young and old. During the concert, we will invite the audience to meet a special boy, Jozef, who was born in a small town in Lithuania and whose love of music and great talent opened the door to the wide world. Jozef's memories, accompanied by the colourful music of the Vaikiškės Suite, will unfold in the stories of memories created by Dominyka Budinavičiūtė!
