Event description


 
LVSO | KATARIINA MARIA KITS AND MARCEL JOHANNES KITS GRIEVE PH. GLASS
 
Ph. Glass. Double Concerto for Violin and Cello
F. Schubert. Symphony No. 8 ("Unfinished") in B minor
V. Silvestrov. Symphony No. 7

 
This evening's guests of the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra are Estonian violinist Katariina Maria Kits and cellist Marcel Johannes Kits. The sister and brother duo, who are the winners of international competitions, will present the Double Concerto for Violin and Cello by one of the most influential American composers of the late 20th century, the representative of minimalism, Philip Glass (b. 1937).
 
In the second part of the concert, the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra will perform Symphony No.8 in B minor by the Austrian Romantic composer Franz Schubert (1797-1828), which is known throughout the world as the "Symphony Unfinished". Despite the fact that the symphony consists of only two movements instead of the usual four, Schubert's Unfinished Symphony has become one of the most interesting, expressive and mysterious works of this genre in the world.
 
The concert will also feature the 2003 Seventh Symphony by Valentin Silvestrov (b. 1937), one of the most prominent Ukrainian composers of contemporary classical music. The translucent texture of the symphony's musical fabric gives the listener the impression that the music simply evaporates into thin air, leaving a stunning impression. 
This evening the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra will be conducted by one of the most famous Ukrainian conductors, the Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine Volodymyr Sirenko. During his career, Mr Sirenko has conducted at venues such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Champs Elysees Opera House in Paris, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Opera. He has recorded more than 50 CDs, one of which received a Grammy nomination. Sirenko is also Professor of Opera and Symphonic Conducting at the National Academy of Music of Ukraine.
