VILNIUS PIANO FESTIVAL 2023
8th festival
Dedication to HIM
2023-11-18 – 2023-12-02

VPF 2023 programme

Dear, faithful companions, listeners of the Festival concerts,

The piano has always been hailed as the king of instruments. From the child prodigy Mozart, who captivated the whole of Europe with his harpsichord, through the genius of Liszt and Chopin, who were able to transform the piano into an orchestra, an opera or a human bel canto, to the present day, this instrument, capable of expressing everything in the hands of one human being, continues to amaze and fascinate us.

The pianist, like Orpheus all alone rescuing Eurydice from hell, speaks through this “sleeping harp” and enchants us with moments of exquisite bliss.

The dedication to HIM is multidimensional: it is a gift to HIM, a celebration of HIM by composers and performers, educators and Festival organisers, and, finally, by concert audiences.

This year it is also a jubilee gift to Vilnius, to which we offer our service and love through music.

Wishing you enriching experiences,
Prof. Mūza Rubackytė, the Artistic Director of the Festival
