Jazz classics: the most beautiful ballads and swing

On the evening of September 19th, two expressive jazz musicians will meet on the DOWNTOWN PIANO LAB stage – virtuoso pianist Vytautas Straižys and saxophonist Pavel Arakelian.

The concert program will feature selected classic jazz pieces, the most beautiful ballads, and lively swing. This is music where elegance merges with the freedom of improvisation, and well-known melodies come to life anew each time.

The dialogue between piano and saxophone will invite you to immerse yourself in different jazz moods – from sensitive, romantic ballads to energetic and rhythmic swing pieces. The subtle sound of Vytautas Straižys' piano and Pavel Arakelian's rich, expressive saxophone will create a lively and unpredictable musical conversation.

This is an evening for those who have missed authentic, live-performed jazz, a cozy club atmosphere, and music that allows you to stop time, at least for a little while.
