Dance Mosaic

DANCE MOSAIC Karolina Beinarytė (violin) and Daiva Stulgytė (piano) Violinist Karolina Beinarytė-Palekauskienė and pianist Daiva Stulgytė-Povilaitienė invite you to a chamber music evening "Dance Mosaic," where listeners will embark on a musical journey through different countries, eras, and dance traditions. The program brings together composers from various eras – from Johann Sebastian Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to Ástor Piazzolla. Elegant minuets and waltzes, rhythms of Slavic dances, Camille Saint-Saëns' dramatic "Danse Macabre," Jean Sibelius' melancholic "Valse Triste," works by Balys Dvarionas and Vytautas Klova, and Piazzolla's passionate tango world will be performed. Each piece reveals a different face of dance – from the subtle sophistication of court halls to folk traditions, from romantic dreaminess to passionate and temperamental music. This is an evening where dance becomes not just a movement, but also an emotion, a narrative, and a reflection of human states. Since 2003, Karolina Beinarytė-Palekauskienė has been the first violinist of the Kaunas String Quartet, actively performing in Lithuania and abroad. Together with the quartet, she has given hundreds of concerts in Europe and South America, participated in festivals, recorded CDs, and won significant Lithuanian cultural awards. Daiva Stulgytė-Povilaitienė is a long-time concertmaster-assistant at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre, head of the chamber ensemble department at Kaunas Juozas Naujalis Music Gymnasium, and an active chamber music performer. Her creative activities include concerts in Lithuania and abroad, collaboration with renowned soloists, chamber ensembles, and choirs. The musical partnership of these two performers was born from their shared experience in chamber music and a love for melody. "Dance Mosaic" will offer listeners a colorful, elegant, and emotional program, blending musical traditions of various nations, dance rhythms, and timeless melodies. After the concert, listeners are invited to stay for a screening of the media opera "ČIURLIONIS: MATAU MUZIKĄ," which extends the evening's theme and opens up a world where sound becomes color, and color becomes music.
