A Farewell Concert Before Leaving
Kotryna Juodzevičiūtė · Vytautas Straižys
On 11 September, DOWNTOWN PIANO LAB will host a special, intimate and symbolic evening. Kotryna Juodzevičiūtė, one of Lithuania's distinctive young-generation vocalists, gives her final concert before leaving to study in Australia. More than a concert, it is a musical farewell to Vilnius, to family, friends and listeners: the close of an important creative chapter and the beginning of a bold new journey. Lithuanian audiences know Kotryna as the winner of the television project “The Voice of Lithuania”. From a young age, she has moved listeners with a powerful voice, rare musical maturity, freedom on stage and a gift for making every song feel like her own story. For this evening, Kotryna will be joined by virtuoso pianist Vytautas Straižys. His musicality, improvisational freedom and subtle sensitivity to a stage partner make each performance singular. Together, they promise a live, spontaneous musical conversation full of unexpected emotional turns. The close setting of DOWNTOWN PIANO LAB brings the audience right beside the performers, with every vocal and piano nuance within reach. Expect an evening without distance between stage and room: music, memories, anticipation and warm good wishes.
