Lithuania's Leticia Moreno - often associated by the press with Pedro Almodóvar's actresses
For the first time in Lithuania, the world-famous violin virtuoso Leticia Moreno will perform. The French daily Le Figaro highlights the Spanish star's resemblance to flamenco dancers and actresses in the films of the famous director Pedro Almodóvar: "She has the grace of a flamenco dancer, the strength of character of an Andalusian cantaora singer and the thoughtful look of Pedro Almodóvar's characters. She is the perfect ambassador for Spanish music." 31 October Leticia Moreno will appear at the new LVSO Concert Hall and perform with the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra.
"Fiery interpretation, exalted lyricism and expression. Captivating power of suggestion, virtuosity and brilliance", wrote El Pais, one of Spain's largest daily newspapers, about Leticia Moreno's interpretations. The violinist, who leaves no one indifferent, captivates audiences and critics alike with her extraordinary stage charisma. Leticia Moreno has performed with some of the world's most renowned conductors, including Zubin Mehta, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Paavo Järvi, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Christoph Eschenbach, Krzysztof Penderecki, Andrés Orozco-Estrada, Gustavo Gimeno, Peter Eötvös, Andrey Boreyko, and many more.

Last year, Leticia Moreno made her debut with the Helsinki and Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestras, and this season she has performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Berkeley Symphony, Bohuslav Martinů Philharmonic and other orchestras. Leticia Moreno is equally enthusiastic about recitals and chamber music concerts, collaborating with renowned cellists Sol Gabetta, Mario Brunello, Leonard Elschenbroich, pianists Bertrand Chamayou, Kirill Gerstein, Lauma Skride, accordionist Ksenia Sidorova, and other renowned soloists.

The soloist performs on a violin made in 1762 by violin master Nicola Gagliano.
