We invite St. Celebrate Christmas surrounded by nature with talented performers - violinist Ieva Pranskutas and cellist Mislav Brajković. The music played in PASAGOS acoustics will warm the hearts of listeners and create a real celebration of beauty and sounds!
The duo begins their musical journey in the place where they met - Austria, the birthplace of the Viennese classic W.A. Mozart. The composer created two wonderful duets for violin and viola, the arrangement of which for cello will be heard for the first time at Paliesius Manor.
W. A. Mozart's duet K.423 was created by the composer after he had already accumulated considerable experience in writing instrumental music. Mozart's mastery of chamber music writing is undoubtedly reflected in this duet. There are still rumors that this piece could have been written by Michael Haydn (the famous Joseph's brother), but in the duet, a very clear feature of Mozart's work remains - virtuosity, lightness, "rigor". And yet it is a work of art of the highest order, whose freshness, humor and suitability for the instruments make this work unique.
Next, get ready to hear 2 Dialogues for violin and cello by the Litvak composer A. Shenderov. Authentic Jewish melodies, flowing in the communication of two instruments, are revealed by various techniques of modern music creation.
In the second part of the concert, violinist Ieva Pranskutė and cellist Mislav Brajković have fun traveling together to countries of other cultures, performing duets with comedian, violinist and composer A. Igudesman. It's like a world tour, going through Scotland, Ireland, Israel, Kazakhstan and many other countries. The works cover many different styles, but always with the composer's individual touch. Igudesman took great care with the cello part because he wanted these arrangements to be as musically valuable as his original versions. He encourages musicians to be creative, adding improvisations or even choreography. And the most important thing is to have fun both performing and listening to these pieces!
