France-based pianist Augustinas Eidukonis presents a new program where works from different eras meet between two musical foundations – song and dance.

The first part of the concert will reveal lyricism: from Beethoven's Sonata (op. 109) to Rachmaninoff's preludes. The second part will be dedicated to dance-inspired music: from Haydn's sonata to Chopin's works, where folk dance rhythms turn into poetry, nostalgia, and virtuosic brilliance.
