The idea of this program was inspired by the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů's "Three Madrigals" for violin and viola. This work is characterized by a unique musical language typical of 20th century composers - folk music motifs intertwined with modern musical language, as well as extremely high virtuosity of string instruments and the use of their capabilities. Since Martinů himself wrote this piece inspired by two W.A. Mozart duets (K.423-424), it seemed natural to include them in the program. A new piece by Lithuanian composer Justina Repečkaitė was ordered to complete the program, which, standing back from Mozart and Martinů, seems to extend this line of inspiration, combining classical, 20th century and contemporary music periods, while at the same time adding a new piece to the repertoire of this string ensemble.

The duo of Milda Kraujutaitytė (violin) and Silvija Čiuladytė (viola) came together out of a desire to transfer their personal friendship to the professional stage. Duo Simile aims to present rarely heard works for violin and viola ensemble to the Lithuanian audience, to initiate the creation of new works for this genre and to share professional, stylistically informed music performance.
