An evening where elegance meets the energy of jazz and profound lyricism. On this special occasion, two exceptional musical forces come together on stage: jazz virtuoso Leonidas Šinkarenko’s Shinkarenko Jazz 6 and the Klaipėda Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Mindaugas Bačkus. The program is centered around Šinkarenko’s original compositions, where the freedom of jazz blends seamlessly with the rich colors of classical music.
This concert is an emotional journey through contrasting musical landscapes, where the refined dialogue between the chamber orchestra and jazz sextet intertwines with dynamic outbursts, vibrant rhythms, and expressive improvisations. Lyrical passages immerse the audience in a deeply sensitive and melancholic atmosphere, revealing the full emotional spectrum of jazz.
The audience will experience Leonidas Šinkarenko’s original works in vivid orchestral arrangements created especially for this performance by Rimas Giedraitis. It is music that transcends genres and speaks directly to the heart.
