The 4th international M. K. Čiurlionis music festival in Vilnius starts with the most outstanding Lithuanian piano duo, recipients of the national prize RŪTA RIKTERĖ and ZBIGNEVAS IBELHAUPTAS who always captivate their listeners’ attention with their creatively selected repertoire, open attitudes towards diverse cultural contexts and stereotype-free ideas in music interpretation. In treating their listeners to their bravura style of playing, the piano ensemble manages to keep to the ‘ascetic’ academic standards, at the same time boldly and sometimes even provocatively inviting the audience to explore the uncovered territory of new music.
