JAZZ CLASSICS: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BALLADS AND SWING | Vytautas Straižys and Pavel Arakelian
Jazz · Vytautas Straižys · Pavel Arakelian
On the evening of 19 September, two expressive jazz musicians will meet on the DOWNTOWN PIANO LAB stage – virtuoso pianist Vytautas Straižys and saxophonist Pavel Arakelian. The concert programme will feature selected classic jazz pieces, the most beautiful ballads and lively swing. This is music in which elegance meets the freedom of improvisation, while familiar melodies come alive anew each time. The dialogue between piano and saxophone will invite listeners to immerse themselves in different jazz moods – from sensitive, romantic ballads to energetic and rhythmic swing pieces. Vytautas Straižys's subtle piano sound and Pavel Arakelian's rich, expressive saxophone will create a lively and unpredictable musical conversation. This is an evening for those who have missed genuine live jazz, the intimate atmosphere of a club and music that allows time to stand still, if only for a moment.
