To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of composer and painter Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, the Lithuanian Symphony Wind Orchestra has prepared a programme of chamber music featuring works by Čiurlionis and his contemporaries. Čiurlionis, like many Symbolists of his time, sought a synthesis of the arts. This idea led to the idea of bringing together in one programme works by different composers from a similar period, reflecting related artistic ideas. The unexpected juxtapositions and arrangements include works by M. K. Čiurlionis, Carl Reinecke, Gustav Holst and other composers. The idea of the concert was conceived by Liucilė U. Vilimaitė, music director – Rimvydas Savickas.

LITHUANIAN SYMPHONY PIANO ORKESTRAS (LSPO) is a versatile ensemble performing music of different genres and styles. The orchestra performs with the most renowned national and international soloists – Giunter Percussion, pianist Petras Geniuš, saxophonist Anders Paulsson (Sweden), conductors Leif Karlsson (Sweden), Johan de Meij (Netherlands) and others.
