“We invite you to a concert by the internationally acclaimed Vilnius City Ensemble NIKO, featuring minimalist and post-minimalist music by 20th and 21st-century composers, as well as excerpts from NIKO’s new album Consonance.
Joining them on stage will be violin virtuoso Janusz Wawrowski, performing on a Stradivarius instrument.
The concert will showcase minimalist and post-minimalist works for string instruments and piano. Through an introspective, sensitive, and expressive musical language, the program will open new dimensions of imagination for the audience. The repertoire includes works by some of today’s most renowned composers, such as Philip Glass and Max Richter, as well as original music by the ensemble’s founder and artistic director Gediminas Gelgotas, and pieces by one of Ukraine’s most prominent composers, Valentyn Silvestrov.”

Performers:
“No One Surpasses the Red Priest
We all enjoy listening to familiar hits now and then. Even violinist Janusz Wawrowski—renowned for uncovering the forgotten Violin Concerto by Ludomir Różycki and tirelessly performing new Eastern European music—and the AUKSO Orchestra, known for their unmatched versatility, are no exception. And is there a greater classic than Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons?
These four spectacular compositions, which lay dormant in archives for nearly two centuries, have since the 20th century been recorded over 1,000 times. One of those recordings, Nigel Kennedy’s 1986 rendition, sold an astonishing 3 million copies. The pieces have appeared in over 500 films and inspired countless remixes—including one by Bach himself. The most famous reimagining, by Max Richter, revealed Vivaldi as the forefather of cinematic minimalism.
Empires rise and fall, humanity dreams of colonizing Mars, and artificial intelligence begins to compose music. Yet no one has captured the beauty of human emotions and natural phenomena in sound better than the Red Priest.”
On November 12 at 6:00 PM, the concert “Music of the Future: Respighi, Paderewski, Mozart” will take place as part of the 30th Sądecki Music Festival, IUBILAEI CANTUS, featuring Janusz Wawrowski and Julia Wawrowska with the Sinfonia Carpathia Orchestra.

16:00 – Wojciech Padjas – Janusz Wawrowski – “Consonance” in search of harmonies. A meeting with Janusz Wawrowski | Radisson Blu Sobieski Hotel, Wilanów Hall I and II.
Janusz Wawrowski, the violin virtuoso, and Lithuanian composer Gediminas Gelgotas present their latest album, Consonance, which takes listeners on a unique journey through sounds that combine a subtle mood, nostalgia, and the emotions of three closely connected cultures: Lithuanian, Polish, and Ukrainian. The collaboration with Gediminas Gelgotas, soprano Bogumiła Dziel-Wawrowska, and the Lithuanian NICO Ensemble creates an extraordinary atmosphere full of reflection and warm tones. The delicate yet profound compositions of Mikołaj Górecki, Gediminas Gelgotas, and Valentin Silvestrov intertwine, crafting a captivating musical landscape filled with subtle emotions, harmony, and deep feelings. The album’s release will take place on October 25, in both digital and vinyl formats. The artist plays on the extraordinary Antonio Stradivarius violin from 1685! How will it sound on audiophile equipment?
