In September, M. K. Čiurlionis' House in Vilnius, together with partners "Tytuvėnai Festival" and the Lithuanian National Philharmonic Society invited to celebrate M. K. Čiurlionis birthday with the world-renowned pianist Peter Laul (Estonia, Russia).
On this special occasion, the pianist performed the program "Poem for Čiurlionis and Scriabin", in which he juxtaposes two peer innovators active at end of the 19th c. – beginning of the 20th c., the creators who transcended their era. We are delighted that the pianist includes the works of Čiurlionis in his repertoire, thus contributing to the promulgation of Lithuanian composers’ music in the world.
Today, we invite you to remember or re-hear the recording of this concert on the M. K. Čiurlionis House YouTube channel.
