Vidas Pinkevicius and Ausra Motuzaite-Pinkeviciene | Organ Recital | Vilnius St. Casimir Church3/4/2024 Yesterday Vidas and I had quite a special day - we played a joint recital at Vilnius St. Casimir church on the Oberlinger organ there (1968/2003, III/P/45). We were asked to fill in only a few days before because some members of vocal ensemble which was supposed to perform on that Sunday got sick. So when Renata Marcinkute Lesieur called us, we gladly said yes. Thanks to Renata for invitation! We played music by J.L. Krebs, G. Böhm, C.P.E. Bach, D. Buxtehude, J. Pachelbel and J.S. Bach. The recital went well, it was well attended and received. Thanks so much to everyone who came to listen to us play. We feel grateful to be able to share our music with such an attentive audience. In earlier years when we used to play during cold season at this church it was very cold and difficult for our health but this concert and rehearsals before were nice because there was an electric heater behind organ bench. So today we'd like to share our video with our online listeners. Hope you will enjoy it! 2024-03-03 Vilnius St. Casimir Church Aušra Motūzaitė-Pinkevičienė and Vidas Pinkevičius, organ PROGRAM 00:00 Johann Ludwig Krebs (1713-1780) Prelude and Fugue in C major, Krebs-WV 400, (Vidas) 10:50 Georg Böhm (1661-1733) Choral Prelude "Vater unser im Himmelreich", IGB 24 (Ausra) 16:39 Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1778) Sonata in F major: Allegro-Largo-Allegretto, Wq 70.3 (Vidas) 27:08 Dieterich Buxtehude (1637-1707) Passacaglia in D minor, BuxWV 161 (Ausra) Score with fingering and pedaling: https://secrets-of-organ-playing.myshopify.com/products/passacaglia-in-d-minor-buxwv-161-by-dieterich-buxtehude-with-fingering-and-pedaling?_pos=1&_sid=124cae946&_ss=r 34:10 Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) Canon in D major for three violins and basso continuo, P. 37 (Vidas and Ausra) 40:18 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B flat major, BWV 1051, III.

Happy New Year! Today I'd like to share with you the video of end-of-the-year recital (2023-12-30) that we played with Vilnius University Organ Studio "Unda Maris". It is very nice to make music together with our students. Some members are veterans of the Unda Maris studio, while others are just taking their first steps in learning the organ. We were happy to be able to share our musical experience with all members of the Vilnius University community. More than 250 people came to listen to us play. We all are very proud of our students who did a great job in front of such massive audience! In this concert, every listener will find something close to themselves, as the program will feature works of various genres and styles. The audience will hear works for organ by Johann Sebastian Bach, Josef Rheinberger, Alexandre Guilmant, Max Reger, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, Johann Strauss, Jacques-Nicolas Lemmens and Vidas Pinkevičius. Since the concert took place in the middle of Christmas season, the program will include the melodies of Christmas carols, thoughtful Rheinberger will make you remember all the sadness and pain that happened in the 2023, Bach's works will breathe immortal classics, and the waltz king Strauss will immerse you in the New Year frenzy. The wide spectrum of the program will reveal the possibilities of the great organ at VU St. John's church. The organ will impress listeners with its wide dynamic scale and enchanting acoustics. VU organ studio "Unda Maris" Artistic directors Dr. Aušra Motūzaitė-Pinkevičienė and dr. Vidas Pinkevičius Performers: Benas Matuzevičius, Regina Dainytė, Vytautas Jonkus, Kotryna Kuliešiūtė and dr.

She was very sad she couldn't join us after much preparation and work with our students. We all wish her quick and full recovery and hope she will be able to perform with us soon.

At the Holy Ghost church there we played an emergency substitute recital on a nice 2 manual and pedal organ with 17 stops, substituting our colleague organist Diana Encienė who got sick and asked us to fill in. We wish her fast recovery! This 1962 Walcker organ until 2018 stood at St. Paul's Church in Neunkirchen (Germany). After the sale of the church building to the Coptic Orthodox religious community, the organ was purchased by the Truskava Holy Ghost Parish. The organ was dismantled and assembled in Truskava by master Aloyzas Lizdenis. The organ consecration ceremony took place on December 16, 2023 so this recital was dedicated to commemorate 5 years from this joyful event. On the program - music by G.A. Mankell, A. Heron, L. Mengoni, Ph. Lehenbauer, R. Fresia, J. Rossiter and V. Pinkevicius. It was only 4 degrees Celsius in the church but the hospitality of the community and organizer Mr. Albertas Šilkaitis kept us warm. Even though the organ needs much tuning and better voicing, we are very grateful for this opportunity to create this musical festivity for the community of Truskava!

We wanted to know how many organ recitals/concerts/demonstrations we have played over the years since 1997, the year we got married. It turns out it's pretty hard to remember everything what happened over the last 26 years... (note to my younger self - even though it might seem insignificant at the time, write down the date, place and program of every concert in a separate file or a place online, otherwise it's very likely I'll forget something).
So anyway, as far as we can remember, I played total of 311 recitals/concerts/demonstrations so far. Ausra: total 116 recitals/concerts/demonstrations so far. Visit this page to see them all... It's a long list... https://www.organduo.lt/recitals.html Which brings me to the next item... In 2023 we have planned 18 events so far (for Ausra - 15). Some of them are already in the past. There are 12 for the future until the end of this year: 06/14 Choir concert at VU St. John's church. Accompanying on 2 organs with Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre choir (Faure Requiem etc.) (Vidas) 07/06 Organ duet recital in Lentvaris on the folding reed organ Henrietta (Kudirka, Seydelmann, Wesley, Mozart, Naujalis, Gudavičius) (Vidas and Ausra) 07/22 Organ recital at Organ Concert Hall in Lviv, Ukraine (Vidas) 07/23 Organ recital at Organ Concert Hall in Lviv, Ukraine (Vidas) 08/06 Organ duet recital in Svendborg, Denmark (Mozart, Gerber, Druckenbüller, Schumann, Pinkevicius) (Vidas and Ausra) 08/12 Organ duet recital in Zlekas, Latvia (Mankell, Schumann, Rheinberger, Höpner, Brahms, Mozart) (Vidas and Ausra) 09/05 Alternatim organ music from the Gdansk Tablature during International Early Music Festival "Banchetto Musicale", venue TBA (Vidas and Ausra) 10/07 Joined organ recital at VU St. John's church (Vidas and Ausra) 10/29 Joined organ recital at Vilkaviškis Cathedral (Vidas and Ausra) 11/05 Organ duet recital at the Care of Blessed Virgin Mary church in Paįstrys (Vidas and Ausra) 11/25 "Classics for All" project at VU St. John's church with VU choirs and orchestra (Saint-Saëns Requiem) (Vidas and Ausra) 12/30 Joined organ recital at VU St. John's church (Vidas and Ausra) If you're in the area, save the date and welcome!

We're very happy for everyone who participated and would like to congratulate for their achievements this year! The purpose of this organ studio, which was established in 2011, is to unite organ music lovers in the Vilnius University community. During twelve years, VU students, teachers, employees and alumni of various specialties and professions played in the organ studio - philologists, physicists, chemists, doctors, historians, mathematicians, geographers, lawyers, etc. This academic year was as busy as ever for the members of "Unda Maris". The members of the studio managed to prepare not one but two different organ music programs. This is a huge achievement because playing the organ is quite a challenge. Although organ students face various difficulties while studying, everything is redeemed by the wonderful and mesmerising performances of the great VU St. John's church organ sounds. By playing the organ, studio members not only expand their musical and cultural horizons, but also take a break from everyday worries, share their experiences, and strengthen community. Hope you will enjoy today's recital video! We're sure our students will appreciate your nice comments!
