About performer
Three artists—percussionist Pavel Giunteris, pianist Guoda Gedvilaitė, and choreographer and dancer Tadas Almantas—were brought together by a single theme: how to save our planet from impending destruction and collapse, which they are determined to do through the magic and power of music.
DIS(U)TOPIA - the final concert-performance of the MUSICA NATURAE - Music of Nature Festival. This unique spectacle, which will feature elements of dance, piano sounds, collages of different percussion instruments and electronics, will focus on the main theme - the future of the planet, for which we can only fight with one weapon – a sense of responsibility?
The power and rhythm of Greek/New Zealand composer John Psathas' work, the instrumental piano innovations of Turkish composer Fazil Say, and the colors of French impressionist Maurice Ravel's compositions are aptly reflected in the title of this powerful concert, inviting us not only to enjoy the music and this performance, but also to protect our planet Earth through our good deeds.
