On August 21 at 7 PM, the halls of Sapieha Palace will resonate with a solo concert by pianist Kasparas Uinskas. In the Grand Hall, he will perform the full cycle of 24 Preludes, Op. 28, by the Polish composer Frédéric Chopin.
These preludes, which hold a special place in the history of piano music, encompass the full spectrum of human emotions — from the tenderest longing to the most tempestuous anguish of the soul. Performed in the evocative setting of Sapieha Palace, they will mark a poignant close to the summer and invite listeners to experience Chopin’s world up close.
Kasparas Uinskas, who studied at the Warsaw University of Music named after Frédéric Chopin, the Juilliard School of Music in New York, and holds a Licentiate of Arts degree from the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre, about the programme of his upcoming concert says: ‘Frédéric Chopin’s music is one of the closest to my soul. It embodies the most sensitive human emotions. His music is brilliant because every note, sound and melody has a meaning and a place. Chopin’s music requires the utmost pianistic training and at the same time is extremely understandable and accessible to many. In this concert I will perform all 24 preludes that the composer wrote while spending the winter in Mallorca with his beloved George Sand. I think everyone will hear the feelings and emotions Chopin experienced.”
