The album offers a musical blending of three closely related cultures – Lithuanian, Polish, and Ukrainian, created in collaboration with the Lithuanian ensemble NICO Ensemble. “Consonance” is a journey through subtle emotions and reflections, where works by Mikołaj Górecki, Gediminas Gelgotas, and Valentin Silvestrov intertwine, forming a harmonious and profound sonic landscape.
