Oboe Magic

Music of Lithuanian composers employing audio and video recordings.

The program is inspired by the magic of the oboe and sounds of nature. Melodies performed by the oboe and related instruments interweave with various contemporary musical elements and sound effects. Each composition has a story telling theme and is individually rich with the technical abilities of the instrument and virtuosity of the performer. The idea of the performance is created by soloist Dr. Robertas Beinaris. All pieces will be played as one continuous musical composition.
