Last January, Chris Ruebens and Mindaugas Stumbras presented their new album and sheet music publication Strung Out at the Music Magic Club, and this year the guitarists return with a guitar duo concert that weaves together intonations of classical, jazz, and world music!

The "Strung Out" concert features original works and compositions specially adapted for the duo, inspired by the sounds of Spanish, Brazilian, French, and classical music. Their program subtly blends tradition and modernity, delivered with mastery and creativity that reveal both the technical nuances of the guitar's capabilities and their artistic expression.

As the musicians explain, in their joint project they "seek not only to experiment but also to enrich the Lithuanian music scene with a new approach to guitar art, while creating an exceptional experience for both music lovers and fans."

Mindaugas Stumbras is a jazz guitarist who performs and composes both jazz and contemporary music. He is one of the most promising Lithuanian jazz performers, actively participating in Lithuanian and foreign jazz scenes. In recent years, Mindaugas has performed in many European countries, played in well-known jazz clubs, and participated in international jazz festivals. Mindaugas is a member of acclaimed collectives such as Vilnius Jazz Young Power and Kaunas Jazz Competition. He also became a laureate of the Lithuanian guitar competition "Gitarų Šėlsmas," and his works were included in the collection "Jazz from Lithuania" published by the Lithuanian Jazz Federation. In 2022, Mindaugas and his group were awarded the Young Creator Prize by the Lithuanian Ministry of Culture for their contribution to music.

The work of guitarist, composer, and vocalist Chris Ruebens combines classical, jazz, and world music, creating a unique and bold sound. Performing with the Baltic Guitar Quartet and the Chris Ruebens Ensemble, the guitarist has traveled throughout Europe and Asia. Chris's works have won international competitions and are performed, arranged, and recorded by internationally acclaimed artists. Originally from Belgium, the musician now calls Lithuania his home.
