St. The Kristupas quintet has been active since 2003 - talented musicians, laureates of international and republican competitions play in it. The artistic activities of this highly professional team have long gone beyond the concert halls of our country. The performers gained international recognition in 2007 at the prestigious 6th International Henri Tomazio Woodwind Quintet Competition held in Marseille, France. Here they won First Place and a Special Prize for the best performance of Toy, written for the Régio Campo competition. In 2008, at the prestigious international chamber music competition in Osaka (Japan), where as many as 230 ensembles competed, Lithuanian performers shared the honorable fourth place with the New York brass quintet.

During the period of fifteen years of activity, St. Kristupas wind quintet has accumulated a rich, stylistically diverse repertoire. Alongside the classical quintets of W. A. Mozart, F. Danzio, P. Taffaneli, A. Reicha, the performers pay great attention to the complex chamber opus of XX authors - S. Barberi, L. Berio, M. Arnold, G. Ligetti, H. Villa-Loboso, J. M. Damase, H. Tomasi and many others. The quintet's performers willingly collaborate with contemporary Lithuanian composers, and encourage them to expand the repertoire of the chamber ensemble of wind instruments. This is how chamber works for classical wind quintet by R. Šileikas, R. Giedraitis, R. Vitkauskaitė, A. Navickos, L. Rimša, T. Makačinas and other authors appeared. The collective also organizes projects related to other art forms, festivals, and participates in various cultural events. This is how the "Line" concert program was born, where music merged with the masterful dance of LNOBT prima ballerina Olga Konoshenko. St. The Kristupas woodwind quintet has played together with the Marseilles (France) wind quintet as a decete, with the Sostinė, Klaipėda brass quintets, with the Vilnius quartet and other collectives.
