Kremerata Baltica

Founded in 1997 by the renowned violinist Gidon Kremer, the Grammy Award-winning chamber orchestra Kremerata Baltica is considered one of the most prominent international ensembles in Europe.

Since its inception, Kremerata Baltica has performed in more than 50 countries, toured 600 cities, and held over 1,000 concerts worldwide. The orchestra helps share Gidon Kremer's rich artistic experience with the new generation while simultaneously fostering and inspiring the musical and cultural life of the Baltic states.

Kremerata Lituanica is the "Lithuanian" branch of Kremerata Baltica. It is an ensemble of 9 musicians that continues the very best traditions of the famous orchestra, creating conceptual and original programs.

The ensemble began its activities during the pandemic period, when travel abroad with the full orchestra was very limited. Since then, the ensemble has performed extensively in Lithuania, and in 2021, it performed in Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, Latvia, and Azerbaijan.

An important part of its work is collaboration with young Lithuanian composers. This collective stands out from other chamber orchestras with its distinctive style – the conceptual nature of its programs and their highly masterful performance.

Soloists: Vincenzo Lai (flute, Italy) Džeraldas Bidva (violin, Lithuania)
