Part of the VILNIUS FESTIVAL 2010

 

Having hoisted the festival’s sail, an outstanding international crew of the opening concert launches the programme of the Vilnius Festival. The crew’s lodestars are Japanese conductor Tomomi Nishimoto, whose head-spinning international career sprang from her childhood fascination with Russian music, and Serbian pianist Tamara Stefanovich, who at the age thirteen became the youngest student at the Belgrade University and now performs in major cultural centres across Europe and in the US. Along with Schumann’s poetic Piano Concerto and Rimsky-Korsakov’s take on One Thousand and One Nights, the programme will also feature an opus by Rodion Shchedrin, dedicated to the 600th anniversary of one of the most glorious events in Lithuania’s history – the Battle of Grunwald.
