Echoes of the Mozart Legend. Concerts dedicated to the presentation of the Mozart Costa violin in Lithuania.
October 28, 2016
Program: Works by W.A.Mozart
Soloist – Danielė Brekytė (violin)
Conductor – Martynas Staškus
"LMTA student Danielė Brekytė (in the class of Assoc. Prof. Dr Rūta Lipinaitytė) conveyed a far greater joy in making music when she performed the Rondo in C major (K 373) on her violin. I have no doubt that these concerts will remain etched in the performers’ memories as one of the most memorable experiences of their student years – the violinist also made her solo debut at the National Philharmonic."
The festival continues with the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra

Creative Dialogue France follows the educational concept developed by Anssi Karttunen, Magnus Lindberg and Kaija Saariaho.
August, 2021
14 editions of Creative Dialogue were held in the USA and Finland in collaboration with Sibelius Academy of Helsinki and some of the most famous musical institutions of the Northern Hemisphere: Juilliard School, Yale University, Colombia University, CNSM de Paris and Lyon, HEM de Géneve, Royal Academy of Music of London, etc. In 2021 Creative Dialogue France opened a new European chapter in a culturally rich area of France and as of 2024 Creative Dialogue has been held also in Finland at the Wanantaka Manor.
The workshop brings young performers and composers as close as possible to the moment of creation. In the Conservatories and Music Schools musicians learn most of the important aspects of their profession from their teachers, but the area of learning from each other during the process of creation is often not addressed enough. This is why Creative Dialogue seems so necessary to us. The composer participants bring scetches which are revised, finished and performed together during the workshop. The performers also work on pieces by the faculty composers together with the composers and the faculty members. Everyone, including the composers take part in the improvisation workshops.
