An Evening of Contemporary Piano Music

Music – a state of contemplation where the boundaries between image and sound disappear; a space of unexpected sensations and experiences, revealing their infinity and uniqueness.

From the meditative soundscapes of Joep Beving and Nils Frahm, Hania Rani's search for the Garden of Eden, Lang Lang's interpretations of musicals, to the audience's beloved "The Beatles" and "Queen" hits arranged by Peter Bence – this is a meticulously crafted concert program by pianist Joris Sodeika, which will open up sonic spaces for the audience that will resonate long after the concert.

Joris Sodeika's interpretations combine precise technique, sensitivity, and deep musical intuition. His mastery of the classical music repertoire provides him with the necessary tools for a different kind of musical expression this evening – contemporary piano music.

In this concert, the pianist is merely a conduit for future sonic ecstasy, allowing music to unfold naturally without canons or boundaries. Transmitting that which makes the body vibrate and the soul ennoble. That simple yet magical world of sounds – music.

Joris Sodeika's concerts are distinguished by his ability to connect different musical eras and styles, seeking new sounds. The pianist studied at the M. K. Čiurlionis National School of Art, at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre in Prof. Petras Geniušas's class, and honed his skills with renowned Lithuanian and foreign performers. He has performed in Leipzig, Venice, Barcelona, and appeared at festivals such as "Gaida", "Kristupo festivalis", "Kultūros naktis", "Druskininkų vasara su M. K. Čiurlioniu". His repertoire combines music from various eras, and his concert activity is characterized by a constant search for new ideas.
