The grand finale of the 4th International Klaipėda Cello Festival promises a breathtaking fusion of classical mastery and artistic freedom. Four exceptional soloists will join forces with the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra, delivering a dazzling celebration of sound and color. This is a finale that must be experienced live!

Concluding the festival’s rich program, the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra will perform under the baton of National Prize-winning conductor Robertas Šervenikas. Known for his broad musical scope, Šervenikas masterfully navigates both well-known classical works and lesser-explored 20th- and 21st-century compositions.

The audience will be treated to “Simi” for cello and orchestra by Giya Kancheli, a renowned Georgian composer whose music has been celebrated worldwide. The piece, once performed by Mstislav Rostropovich, will be interpreted by Estonian cello virtuoso Marcel Johannes Kits. The program also includes “Spasimo”, an evocative work by Italian cellist and composer Giovanni Sollima, performed by Ivan Karizna, a laureate of prestigious competitions, including the Queen Elisabeth Cello Competition in Brussels.

A special highlight of the evening will be a Jazz Cello Concerto by Swedish composer Svante Henryson, performed by the composer himself—an accomplished musician whose artistry bridges jazz and classical traditions. Rounding out the program, Romanian cello virtuoso Răzvan Suma, a soloist with Europe’s leading orchestras, will perform “Hungarian Rhapsody” by David Popper, a Bohemian cellist and composer from the late 19th century.
