Čiurlioniada: Piano Music Evening | Jan Krzysztof Broja
BILIETAI
This piano recital is a special dedication for two outstanding early 20th-century composers – Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis and Maurice Ravel – whose 150th birth anniversaries are being celebrated this year by music lovers in Lithuania and around the world.
Their legacy is reflected in the concert programme, which features works by both masters. The program will also include music by their contemporaries Johannes Brahms and Frédéric Chopin, offering listeners a glimpse into the diverse stylistic nuances of that era. The evening’s performance, held at the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania, in Vilnius, will be presented by pianist Jan Krzysztof Broja – one of the most prominent current Polish pianists, known for his broad stylistic range and exceptional improvisational talent, which he will showcase at the end of the concert with an improvised suite.
This event is part of the concert series "Čiurlioniada. Piano and Organ Music Evenings". On this special occasion, the Center for International Cultural Projects has invited special guests and jury members, laureates of the various editions of the International M. K. Čiurlionis Organ and Piano Competition to the Lithuanian capital. In addition to the composer's own organ and piano works, the program of the cycle will also include premieres of the pieces inspired by Čiurlionis's legacy, explications of the fragments or just the themes left, improvisations, newly prepared and previously created arrangements, and the work of contemporaries.
Project is partly sponsored by: Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania, Lithuanian Council for Culture, Vilnius City Municipality
