/

about

Osvaldas Balakauskas has held a strong position in the contemporary Lithuanian music scene since the mid-1960s and has influenced several generations of musicians as a composer and a professor. Balakauskas is one of the most prolific Lithuanian composers: his oeuvre includes five symphonies, more than ten concertos, a chamber opera, a ballet and numerous chamber music compositions. He distinguishes himself as an insightful and accurate music critic and theorist.
Rain for Cracow was composed in 1991 for violin and piano (or prepared piano or harpsichord ) and consists of several textural variations that are based on the three or four tone microsystems. Balakauskas has been very important to LEN since he beginning . During it’s first concert in 2009 LENsemble performed Rain for Cracow at the WDR concert series Ensemble Europa in Cologne (Germany ). In 2017 LENsemble together with the Lithuanian chamber orchestra created a retrospective of Balakauskas’ music at the Vilnius Festival.
