"Window to Lithuania"

Selected Lithuanian chamber music works for violin, cello and piano. Violinist
Dalia Dėdinskaitė (Lithuania/Austria), cellist Gleb Pyšniak (Lithuania/Austria)
and pianist Robertas Lozinskis (Lithuania/United Kingdom), some of the most
prominent Lithuanian performers residing and creating abroad, teamed up for a
joint initiative: to discover the most beautiful works of Lithuanian classical
composers and to combine them in one album. “Window to Lithuania” is a
collection of jewels of Lithuanian classical music, that covers over a hundred
years of inspiration, creative energy and musical blessing. The artists seek to
share these treasures with listeners all over the world, thus commemorating the
25th anniversary of Restoration of Independence of the Republic of Lithuania.
The concert tour includes performances in the USA, Austria, Czech Republic,
Germany, Hungary, Italy, Russia, Sweden, Ukraine and others.

Dalia Dėdinskaitė, a laureate of national and international competitions, is one of the
most prominent Lithuania’s young violinists. She won the main prize at the international
competition “Violin n Dresden” in Germany in 2010 after which she was invited to
perform L. van Beethoven’s Violin Concerto at the prestigious festival “Dresdner
Musikfestspiele 2012”. D. Dėdinskaitė has given concerts around Europe, the USA and
New Zealand. She has also performed as a soloist together with the Lithuanian State
Symphony Orchestra, the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra, “Dresdner
Kappelsolisten” and the symphonic orchestra “Carl Maria von Weber” of Dresden,
conducted by Saulius Sondeckis, Juozas Domarkas, Georg Mark, etc. In 2014 Dalia
debuted at the Wiener Musikverein with great success where she performed the world
premiere of V. Barkauskas’ “Duettissimo”. It was her first teacher Elena Lašaitė who
noticed her budding talent. Later Dalia continued her studies with prof. Jurgis
Dvarionas, whereas lessons given by Christian Altenburger, Austrian violinist and a
professor at the University of Vienna, left the most visible trace.
