This concert is an exceptional musical experience, combining the magic of jazz and blues in one of Vilnius' most beautiful cultural spots - St Catherine's Church. Goda Yorke and Vytautas Straižys.
Goda Yorke (Goda Sasnauskaitė) is a talented musician and performer whose voice and work have long left a mark on Lithuania's alternative pop scene. Goda's musical journey is characterised not only by a variety of styles, but also by her extraordinary ability to embody her experiences in song. Her voice is powerful, untamed, yet subtle, and her lyrics often touch on social issues and her personal experiences. In her live performances, Goda captures the archaic spirit inspired by her idols Bruce Springsteen, Jeff Buckley and Janis Joplin. In this concert, Goda will reveal herself in a new amplitude - as a jazz and blues performer, radiating not only her extraordinary voice, but also a sensuality that engages every listener.
Vytautas Straižys is one of Lithuania's most outstanding jazz pianists, whose musical career began at the M.K. Čiurlionis School of Arts and continued at the Royal Conservatory in the Netherlands. Vytautas's talent is more than technical virtuosity; his performances are a journey through musical eras and genres, where he masterfully combines the styles of Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Claude Debussy. Vytautas' improvisations are not only surprising in their musical flexibility, but also enriching in their emotional depth. The pianist also sings and is the founder of the renowned Downtown Piano Lab, a space where he shares his creative ideas and experiences with other music enthusiasts.
This concert is not only an opportunity to hear masterful jazz and blues, but also to immerse yourself in the world of music, full of emotions, improvisations and unforgettable moments. Goda and Vytautas create a special duo that will make the audience laugh, dream and experience every moment with music that is inspired by the heart and soul.
