Pianist

Our tribute to Robert and Clara Schumann culminates in a concert featuring works by both spouses. Clara Wieck-Schumann was a pioneering pianist—one of the first to perform from memory—and a gifted composer, balancing her artistry with raising eight children. Robert, an accomplished composer, writer, and pianist, damaged his hands through obsessive technical practice.

From the opening notes of Clara’s Piano Concerto, the deep connection between them is unmistakable—a bond unmatched in the 19th century. Robert’s Cello Concerto, no less moving and contemplative, seems to call out Clara’s name in the final movement’s intervals, according to cellist Mischa Maisky. This music unfolds like a personal film, with the cello’s lyrical voice and the orchestra’s rich palette painting vivid scenes.

Pianist Onutė Gražinytė and cellist Edward King are returning to the Paliesius Manor! The performers will present them with a special and very expensive program dedicated to the 90th anniversary of one of the most famous contemporary composers Arvo Pärt. The program is composed on the principle of mirror reflection and is named after one of the works: “Spiegel im Spiegel” (Lithuanian: “Mirror in a Mirror”).
