Rokas Jurkus (classical guitar) presents his debut solo album "Blue Sand Pyramids". From the islands of Japan to the American continent, the compositions spread out in space - like pyramids lift a person up into the sky. Next time we would be reassured by the stability of our base, only today they are made of sand, blown by the wind, constantly unstable. From the life of Čiurlionis to two thousand and twenty years, the evidence of the winter dream is coded. After breaking that stone - only sand dust. Tintinnabuli!
Guitarist Rokas Jurkus opens the most poetic rooms of classical guitar by combining tenderness with vigor in his musical programs. Internationally appreciated for his exceptional sense of rhythm, sound depth and subtlety, the performer regularly performs in major Lithuanian and foreign concert halls, implementing creative projects.
Another very recent project completed by the musician is the adaptation of the piano music of the great Lithuanian artist M. K. Čiurlionis for guitar. The transcriptions created by the artist are of special importance to the Lithuanian classical music scene. With the help of the Lithuanian Music Information Center, these sheet music publications are available worldwide from September 2023.
