Klaipeda Cello Quartet was formed in 2017 in the context of the first Klaipėda International Cello Festival. The dance and music performance "Seasons" was born from the creation of new, unexpected and innovative ideas for the festival's programmes, and was the first project that had a significant impact on the ensemble's activities to date. The musicians of the Quartet are not only passionate and talented music promoters, but also performers of various styles and genres. They are all united by their participation in the Klaipėda Chamber Orchestra's cello group. Their extensive repertoire includes classical, contemporary, rock and experimental music.
This time, the ensemble returns together with Ingaja, an alternative music performer and songwriter from Klaipėda. This is a brand new concert project combining the sound of 4 cellos with vocals of exceptional timbre, adding a touch of guitar, ambient colour and electronics. Ingaja looks for inspiration in nature and discovers nature within herself, seeking to connect with the listener's inner world here and now. She invites listeners to immerse themselves between the musical lines, losing the sense of time and environment, body and mind. It is like steps through a map of inner experiences, and the role of music helps to observe the events of one's own life from the outside, to experience them more slowly, surrounded by the sounds.
Ingaja's original songs will be performed in the programme:
1. Quietness in the air
2. No time to waste
3. Dreams are taking off
4. Down
5. Whole
6. Sailing boat
7. Blink of an eye
8. Yesterday Was Hard
9. Awakening
10. Atjautoj
