"Elegy for Three" is a rarely heard chamber interaction between voice, piano, and cello, where each instrument becomes an equal storyteller.

The program blends emotional depth and stylistic diversity – from French lyricism and intellectual contemporary classics to jazz harmonies and Argentine musical culture. The axis of the concert is the rarely performed work of American composer André Previn.

This multi-layered program will be performed by one of Lithuania's most prominent opera soloists, soprano, laureate of the National Culture and Art Prize, and professor at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre ASTA KRIKŠČIŪNAITĖ, the promising young generation pianist MILDA UMBRUSEVIČIŪTĖ, who actively participates in chamber music projects, and one of the most prominent Lithuanian cellists GLEB PYŠNIAK. Mature musical intuition and a subtle ensemble dialogue allow this trio to create a meaningful story with every sound.
