From the Philharmonic Concert Hall in Vilnius, Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla conducts a concert that offers a double celebration: of the sea, and of the great Lithuanian composer and artist Mikalojus Čiurlionis, whose 150th birthday is celebrated in 2025. The concert concludes with one of his most celebrated works, the sumptuous 1907 symphonic poem The Sea, completed only four years before the composer's untimely death, aged just 36. The concert opens with another celebrated evocation of the sea – the Sea Interludes from Benjamin Britten's 1945 opera, Peter Grimes – while the central work on the programme celebrates Čiurlionis from a contemporary perspective: Canadian composer Joel Hoffman's Self-Portrait with Čiurlionis.
