This evening brings together five prominent Lithuanian jazz and popular music artists – Girmantė Vaitkutė (vocals), Andrej Polevikov (piano), Mindaugas Vadoklis (trumpet, flugelhorn), Denis Murašov (bass, double bass) and Darius Rudis (drums). Their collaboration combines folk melodies and contemporary jazz aesthetics to create a new, organic musical narrative. The programme will feature works from Andrejs and Girmantė’s previous projects and the new album “Miegančio miesto lopšinės”.

Alongside Lithuanian folk songs, traditional melodies from other cultures are presented in modern arrangements, where improvisation, harmonic explorations and the subtle rhythm of jazz become a natural continuation of folklore. The members of the ensemble – well-known performers on the Lithuanian music scene – are characterised by their mature interpretation and a very strong inter-musical communication, which allows them to reinterpret folk material in a new way, while retaining its melodic and stylistic identity.

Venue: the courtyard of the Klaipėda Ethnocultural Centre (Daržų g. 10, Klaipėda)
