Meet Ugnius

Ugnius Pauliukonis will provide a fitting finale to the festival and a treat for our ears as he closes the evening.

Experience the art of solo piano, showcasing a diverse range of evocative soundscapes. From the soothing music of Ennio Morricone and Claude Debussy to the contemporary rhythms of George Gershwin, the performance promises a musical journey of poignant reflection and vibrant energy.
