Last Saturday Vidas and I played a mini recital at the Holy Trinity church in Gdansk (Poland) on the unique historical Friese/Nitrowski/Lehmann/Dalitz organ, beautifully restored by Wegscheider/Januszkiewicz.

The acoustics were generous too... On the program - music by Hans Leo Hassler and fantasias from the Gdansk Manuscript, edited by Pierre Gouin and Marek Michalak.

BACH - 339 which was dedicated to the 339th birthday of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). The concept of this year's concert is different from all previous years' Bach's birthday recitals. Although Bach's sons tried to convince their contemporaries that no one taught their father the art of music, even such a genius would hardly have been able to reach such heights without the influence of other masters. Therefore, in this concert, we introduced the audience to the composers with whom Bach studied, as well as composers who were influenced by the great master. On the program - music by J.L. Krebs, D. Buxtehude, J. Pachelbel, G. Böhm, C.P.E. Bach, W.F. Bach and J.S. Bach. Hope you will enjoy this video!

We were asked to fill in only a few days before because some members of vocal ensemble which was supposed to perform on that Sunday got sick. So when Renata Marcinkute Lesieur called us, we gladly said yes. Thanks to Renata for invitation! We played music by J.L. Krebs, G. Böhm, C.P.E. Bach, D. Buxtehude, J. Pachelbel and J.S. Bach. The recital went well, it was well attended and received. Thanks so much to everyone who came to listen to us play. We feel grateful to be able to share our music with such an attentive audience. In earlier years when we used to play during cold season at this church it was very cold and difficult for our health but this concert and rehearsals before were nice because there was an electric heater behind organ bench. So today we'd like to share our video with our online listeners.

Today I'd like to share with you the video of end-of-the-year recital (2023-12-30) that we played with Vilnius University Organ Studio "Unda Maris". It is very nice to make music together with our students. Some members are veterans of the Unda Maris studio, while others are just taking their first steps in learning the organ. We were happy to be able to share our musical experience with all members of the Vilnius University community. More than 250 people came to listen to us play. We all are very proud of our students who did a great job in front of such massive audience! In this concert, every listener will find something close to themselves, as the program will feature works of various genres and styles. The audience will hear works for organ by Johann Sebastian Bach, Josef Rheinberger, Alexandre Guilmant, Max Reger, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, Johann Strauss, Jacques-Nicolas Lemmens and Vidas Pinkevičius. Since the concert took place in the middle of Christmas season, the program will include the melodies of Christmas carols, thoughtful Rheinberger will make you remember all the sadness and pain that happened in the 2023, Bach's works will breathe immortal classics, and the waltz king Strauss will immerse you in the New Year frenzy. The wide spectrum of the program will reveal the possibilities of the great organ at VU St. John's church. The organ will impress listeners with its wide dynamic scale and enchanting acoustics.

She was very sad she couldn't join us after much preparation and work with our students. We all wish her quick and full recovery and hope she will be able to perform with us soon.

At the Holy Ghost church there we played an emergency substitute recital on a nice 2 manual and pedal organ with 17 stops, substituting our colleague organist Diana Encienė who got sick and asked us to fill in. We wish her fast recovery! This 1962 Walcker organ until 2018 stood at St. Paul's Church in Neunkirchen (Germany). After the sale of the church building to the Coptic Orthodox religious community, the organ was purchased by the Truskava Holy Ghost Parish. The organ was dismantled and assembled in Truskava by master Aloyzas Lizdenis. The organ consecration ceremony took place on December 16, 2023 so this recital was dedicated to commemorate 5 years from this joyful event. On the program - music by G.A. Mankell, A. Heron, L. Mengoni, Ph. Lehenbauer, R. Fresia, J. Rossiter and V. Pinkevicius. It was only 4 degrees Celsius in the church but the hospitality of the community and organizer Mr. Albertas Šilkaitis kept us warm. Even though the organ needs much tuning and better voicing, we are very grateful for this opportunity to create this musical festivity for the community of Truskava!

Today we'd like to share our August 12, 2023 recital video from Zlēkas where we had a pleasure to play a 2 manual and pedal Hermann organ from 1875. This video will be one of the first available online of this rare Romantic Latvian organ. Thanks so much to our friend Janis Kalnins for invitation and hospitality! Hope you will enjoy it!
