Enjoy a lunchtime recital in the beautiful surroundings of Ely Cathedral, from Emilija Karaliute.
Programme:
Emilija is a professional classical and folk musician who began studying the kanklės in Lithuania from an early age, developing a deep connection to the instrument and its cultural roots. She has been playing the kanklės for 16 years and has been awarded the title of the National Laureate of Lithuania twice. The kanklės is the Lithuanian National instrument, which remains relatively unknown to many. Emilija is passionate about sharing the kanklės with new audiences, promoting the diversity of Lithuanian culture. Now a regular performer in the UK, with her recent solo shows in Paris and Berlin, Emilija continues to engage audiences with her ability to integrate the kanklės into diverse genres, including classical, contemporary, and folk music.
Programme will include pieces by Debussy, Hasselmans, Mendelssohn, and Camille Saint-Saëns.
