Time can flow, stand still, or return in memories. It can even be heard in music. Composer Loreta Narvilait\u0117\u2019s portrait evening invites listeners to experience precisely this: time embodied and reflected in sound.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Loreta Narvilait\u0117 is among the most active and prominent Lithuanian composers of contemporary classical music today. The composer\u2019s work often features motifs of the sea, the wind, the dunes and the city \u2013 symbols of her Western Lithuanian identity and her native city Klaip\u0117da that become transformed into metaphors for inner states. Her music springs from a fecund combination of emotional openness, melodiousness and sensitivity to images inspired by nature. The neo-Romantic, minimalist sound of her works and their coherent dramatic structure draw the listener into a contemplative yet emotionally intense flow of sound.<\/p>\n

Among the highlights of the portrait concert are the premieres of two new works. The composer\u2019s latest composition \u2013 Look! The Snow is Falling; the Alpine Lake Sinks into Sleep; and Time Seems to Stop for piano duet \u2013 was composed especially for this occasion. It will be premiered by the internationally acclaimed piano duo of Vilija Po\u0161kut\u0117 and Tomas Daukantas (Lithuania \/ Switzerland) who regularly promote contemporary music by Lithuanian and Swiss composers on concert stages across Europe. Another duo of wonderful Lithuanian harpists \u2013 Joana Daunyt\u0117 and Liucil\u0117 Vilimait\u0117 \u2013 will perform the Lithuanian premiere of the new version of the Song of the Sea at Sunset, originally written for flute quartet a few years ago. The dialogue between these heavenly instruments will furthermore reveal the piece\u2019s crystalline sound and subtle lyricism.<\/p>\n

Musicologist Veronika Janatjeva will host the talk with the artist and performers, providing insights into the contexts of Narvilait\u0117\u2019s work and the stories behind the creation of her new pieces.<\/p>\n

\u201eTime in Sound\u201c is an evening in which music will revive memories of the passing time, and the light of sunset will merge with the stillness of an Alpine lake. These are precious and enriching moments of being together, here and now. Your company is eagerly awaited!<\/p>\n
