How it works
Conversation with a performer after a concert

“Dive into personality”

Warm, live conversations with performers straight after a concert — while the stage is still warm. Filmed and recorded; the recording stays with the organiser. Also available: finding and booking performers for your celebration.

01

For schools

Sessions that meet the Culture Passport criteria. They fit into a single lesson, and a classroom is space enough.

02

For cultural centres and concert halls

Seasonal, Christmas and alternative programmes with a clear price, a technical rider and an agreed schedule.

03

For manor houses and unconventional venues

An acoustic programme for a courtyard, a hall, a church or an unusual space — no stage and no power needed. I can be a standing part of your seasonal offer.

04

For companies and agencies

The artistic part of an evening, a company celebration, or the whole event turnkey. For agencies — a ready-made entry in your Christmas catalogue.

05

For weddings and family celebrations

Ceremony music and the artistic part of the evening. If needed, I also find the other performers — dancers, vocalists, actors.

06

For retreat and wellbeing organisers

Live sound for yoga, meditation and mindfulness practice. Music, word, scent and dance therapy sessions for adults.

Education

Sessions, workshops and lessons

The first two sessions are delivered to schools through the Culture Passport scheme. Workshops and lessons are booked directly — for children and adults.

What does an emotion sound like?

We listen to how the same melody changes mood when the tempo, timbre or tuning changes. The children see the cello up close, then draw the emotion they heard.

  • Ageyears 1–8
  • Length45 min
  • Groupup to 30
  • Price€5 / pupil

Graphic score

A hundred years ago composers began writing music down not in notes, but in lines and signs. Small groups create their own graphic score and, in the same lesson, hear it played back on the cello. No musical literacy required — only decisions.

  • Ageyears 2–8
  • Length45 min

Creative workshops

Workshops in the synthesis of the arts, where music meets word and movement. Participants do not watch — they build: a short shared piece assembled out of sound, text and silence. Suits a class, a team or a family gathering.

Instrument and arts lessons

Individual and group lessons: cello or another instrument of your choice, musical understanding and a feel for the stage. From the first touch to a performance — for children and adults, with no upper age limit.

  • Agefrom 6 to adult
  • Length45 min
  • Groupone-to-one or group

  • Onlineyes

The first two sessions will be bookable with Culture Passport funding from January 2027, once the application is approved. Until then — by direct agreement with the school: one day, three sessions for different classes, €420.

The price of workshops and lessons depends on the number of participants, the length and the venue — I send a concrete figure with the quote within one working day.

Repertoire

Ready-made programmes

These can be booked straight away — each has a length, a line-up and a technical rider. The price depends on the line-up and the distance.

Christmas evening

A festive programme for a cultural centre or community evening: familiar Christmas melodies, Lithuanian carols and a few unexpected turns in the arrangements.

Length55 min
Line-upSolo / duo / trio
SeasonNovember–January
Price from€450 / 700 / 950

Summer classics

An acoustic programme for manor courtyards, parks and town festivals. It works outdoors — no stage infrastructure required.

Length60 min
Line-upDuo / trio
SeasonMay–September
Price from€650 / 900

Ceremony

A wedding ceremony, a commemoration, or the musical part of an awards evening or opening. In churches and manor halls the acoustics are often such that no amplification is needed at all.

Lengthup to 40 min
Line-upSolo / duo
SeasonAll year
Price from€350

Alternative concert — performance

A synthesis of the arts: cello, poetry or other texts, dance and image in one work. The programme is built for a specific space rather than moved into it — so a manor cellar or an empty factory floor is an advantage here, not an obstacle.

Length60–75 min
Line-up2–5 performers
SeasonAll year
PriceOn request

Interactive concert NEW

A programme in which the audience is part of the work: they choose what comes next, play simple sound parts, build the rhythm. People leave with an experience rather than an impression.

SeasonAll year

Therapeutic event

Elements of music, word, scent and dance therapy in one session for adults. Not entertainment but a state: live sound, breath, scent and movement arranged so that after ninety minutes a person leaves different from how they arrived.

Length90 min

Retreat and mindfulness practice

A weekend package of yoga, meditation and live sound: morning practice, a seminar on a chosen theme, an evening concert and a session of silence. Built together with the hosts of the venue — from one day to three.

“Dive into personality”

A live conversation with a performer straight after the concert, in front of the audience. Having just come off stage, people are open in a way they rarely are otherwise — so things are said here that never make it into an interview. Filmed and recorded; the recording stays with the organiser.

Length30–45 min

Turnkey event

The whole event from A to Z in one pair of hands: programme, performers, stage, sound equipment, catering, photographer and the running order of the evening. The organiser is left with one contact and one invoice instead of five.

Line-upTo suit space and occasion
SeasonAll year
Price from€1,500

Prices exclude travel beyond a 60 km radius of Vilnius — past that a rate of €0.25/km applies and is written into the quote. Programmes marked “On request” are priced by line-up, length and venue — I send the exact figure within one working day. Individually arranged pieces and December weekends are priced separately; you see the exact sum in the quote before signing.

In preparation

Open space — the studio

A place where a rehearsal, a workshop and a chamber concert fit under one roof. Not a hall with rows of seats, but an open space that each evening rearranges to suit itself.

  • Chamber concerts and performances
  • Creative workshops and lessons
  • Yoga, meditation and therapy sessions
  • Conversation and sound recordings

Event organisers need more than music: they need someone who handles the sound, the schedule and the paperwork themselves. That is why every programme here has a clear length, line-up and price — rather than “we'll sort it out on the day”.

Practical questions

Frequently asked

Do you bring your own sound equipment?
Yes. I have a portable sound system that covers a hall of up to number people and small outdoor events. In acoustic spaces the cello often sounds best with no amplification at all.
Can you take care of the whole event, not just the music?
Yes — I call this an event from A to Z. Programme, performers, stage, sound, catering and photographer are arranged through me, and you get one contact and one invoice. If you only need the artistic part of a wedding or a company celebration, that is just as usual.
I am looking for performers for my celebration. Can you help?
Yes. Booking and liaison is a separate service: I select musicians, dancers, vocalists or actors to suit the occasion, the space and the budget, and coordinate their schedules. All you do is choose from the options prepared for you.
Do you teach?
Yes — one-to-one and in groups, children and adults. Cello or another instrument of your choice, musical understanding, a feel for the stage. Beginners need no previous experience.
How does a therapeutic event differ from a concert?
At a concert you listen; in a therapeutic session you take part. Music, word, scent and movement are arranged for a state rather than an effect, so the group is smaller (8–25 people) and the session is led together with a therapist.
How far in advance should a date be booked?
For the Christmas season — from September, since December weekends fill up first. At other times 4–6 weeks is enough.
Do you issue invoices?
Yes. I work under an individual activity certificate no., so I issue invoices and can sign a service contract — which suits the accounting departments of public-sector institutions.
What does travel outside the city cost?
Travel within 60 km of Vilnius is included in the price. Beyond that a rate of €0.25/km applies, stated in the quote rather than added later.
Can the programme be adapted to our occasion?
Yes, and it usually is. Repertoire, length and the spoken part are agreed before the event. If you have a particular piece in mind, say so early — preparation takes time.
What languages do you work in?
Lithuanian, English and Italian. Concerts, educational sessions and conversations for international guests can be led in English or Italian without an interpreter.
What happens if the event is cancelled?
If cancelled more than 14 days before the event, the deposit is returned or moved to another date. Terms for later cancellation are set out in the contract.
