We are delighted to invite you to a special performance by the Čiurlionis Quartet, joined by soprano Monta Martinsone and live electronics. The program features works by Franz Schubert, Lili Boulanger, and others, alongside treasures of Lithuanian music — including the visionary composer and painter Mikalojus Čiurlionis.
Born 150 years ago, Čiurlionis was not only Lithuania’s first modern composer but also a pioneering painter, synesthete, and cultural icon. His extraordinary legacy of more than 400 musical compositions and 300 paintings continues to inspire audiences worldwide. His art bridged music and colour, sound and vision — and this concert pays tribute to that creative spirit.

Founded in 1968, the Čiurlionis Quartet has a reputation of being an inventive and technically advanced collective. In 1990, the ensemble was among the first to receive the prestigious Lithuanian National Arts and Culture Prize - the highest award in Lithuania. In 2004, the Quartet captured second prize at the International Chamber Music Competition in Schweinfurt, Germany.

Nous sommes ravis de vous inviter à un concert exceptionnel du Quatuor Čiurlionis, accompagné de la soprano Monta Martinsone et d’électronique live. Au programme : des œuvres de Franz Schubert, Lili Boulanger et d’autres compositeurs, aux côtés de trésors de la musique lituanienne — dont celles du visionnaire compositeur et peintre Mikalojus Čiurlionis.
Né il y a 150 ans, Čiurlionis fut non seulement le premier compositeur moderne de Lituanie, mais aussi un peintre novateur, un synesthète et une véritable icône culturelle. Son héritage extraordinaire — plus de 400 compositions musicales et 300 peintures — continue d’inspirer le public à travers le monde. Son art faisait dialoguer musique et couleur, son et vision — et ce concert rend hommage à cet esprit créateur.
Fondé en 1968, le Quatuor Čiurlionis a la réputation d’être un collectif inventif et techniquement avancé. En 1990, l’ensemble a été l’un des premiers à recevoir le prestigieux prix national lituanien des arts et de la culture, la plus haute distinction en Lituanie. En 2004, le quatuor a remporté le deuxième prix du concours international de musique de chambre de Schweinfurt, en Allemagne.
🎉 Si vous avez un Passeport pour le Festival 2026 et que vous achetez deux billets pour entendre Le Quatuor Čiurlionis, vous obtenez le troisième billet GRATUITEMENT!
