The magic of the sound of two pianos - jazz, folk, contemporary academic music and many more styles, colours and shades of music in the intriguing concert "Impro_Vizijos", in which the famous jazz pianist Egidijus Buožis invited his friend, the bright jazz personality - pianist and composer Tomas Kutavičius - to "play" for spontaneous musical improvisation.

"This concert is a continuation of my long-conceived concert series "Impro_Vizijos", where the concerts are filled with the spontaneous improvisation of music that is born only in that second. In a kind of improvisational duel, I invite my fellow musicians and artists for a one-off evening of improvisation. I play with artists with whom I have never performed before and it is on the stage of Impro_Visions that our first and only improvisational encounter is born, opening up unexpected harmonies in the performance of music for us, the performers, and the pleasure of listening to music for the audience", says pianist Egidijus Buožis.

Pianist Egidijus Buožis' previous "Impro_visions" have been performed with saxophonist Petr Vyšniauskas, percussionist Pavel Giunteris, violinist Zbigniew Levicki, and this time he will be performing a spontaneous duet for the very first time with pianist and composer Tomas Kutavičius.

Tomas himself, remembering his father, the composer Bronis Kutavičius, who is of great memory, said:

"Music is a mystery. My father used to say: "If there is no mystery in music, there is nothing good. Music is magic and the performer must be a shaman. If you don't enchant the audience, nothing will happen..."

Tomas Kutavičius carries the music in his heart and head, and it only starts when he sits down at the instrument. "Yes, you can slip, but if you "unlearn" the text, you learn it, the motor skills will come back and the life will disappear, there will be no impulse. I bring the music to the stage in me, and its birth starts when I touch the keyboard. It's like when a baby is born, when they give it to you and you don't know how to take it - so fragile, so fragile, so vulnerable - in your arms. You take it gently, carefully, focusing on it. And so it is with sound." (7md Nr. 39 (1531) 2024-11-29)
