On stage, the percussion duo "Per Giunt" – Pavel Giunter and Guntars Freibergs, well known to Lithuanian audiences – will meet Danish cellist Tobias van der Pals. Performing together for many years, the "Per Giunt" duo creates inventive programs that reveal to listeners the broad expressive possibilities of percussion instruments. In their music, percussion becomes an instrument not only of rhythm but also of timbre, color and space. Tobias van der Pals, joining the duo, will enrich the program with the cello's singing line, a timbre close to the human voice, and a rich string sound. Together these performers will create a program in which baroque expression meets contemporary meditation, rhythmic energy and sensitive chamber dialogue. The program will feature works by Antonio Vivaldi, Osvaldo Golijov, Anna Ignatowicz-Glińska, Leopold van der Pals, Anders Koppel and Arvo Pärt. This is music in which different eras and aesthetics meet, united by attention to sound, resonance and the performers' live interaction on stage. Leopold van der Pals's Sonata for Solo Cello, arranged by Tobias van der Pals and performed at the concert, brings a personal family thread into the program and reveals the performer's close connection to his family's musical legacy.
