Program:
Shakespeare’s sonnets and musical compositions by J. Stanislovaitis and S. Mykolaitis.

We invite you on an extraordinary journey through timeless emotions revealed by the love poetry of the Renaissance poet, intertwined with the language of modern music. Shakespeare’s sonnets—full of feelings, dreams, and eternal love—are reborn as songs that resonate in contemporary hearts. These magical verses take on new life as they are enriched by today’s melodies and live performance. It becomes a celebration of sound and word, where past and present converge, timeless values meet modern harmonies. The beauty of Shakespeare’s words unfolds within a musical world filled with the tenderness of the saxophone, the vitality of guitar chords, and the rhythmic heartbeat of drums echoing like the pulse of time. This program invites not only to listen—but to feel, to experience, and to immerse yourself in the wonder of poetry and music.

This musical experience is created by internationally acclaimed saxophonist Nick Vintskevich, who blends jazz expression with delicate lyricism; composer, actor, and performer Justinas Stanislovaitis, who maintains a sensitive yet powerful musical bridge between classical and modern worlds.
