BIO

Loreta Narvilaitė is currently one of the most productive female composers in Lithuania. She finished composition studies at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre and works as lecturer at the Klaipėda Stasys Šimkus Conservatoire. Her compositions have be-en performed at many festivals in Lithuania and abroad. She is a long-standing member of the Lithuanian Composers' Association and has been active as a manager and promoter of contemporary music for many years. In 1994, she organized the first festival of new music, Dune, in Klaipėda and was its artistic director for the following five years. For her residency, Loreta Narvilaitė is planning an 8-10 minute composition for Graces & Voices, a Vienna-based five-headed female vocal ensemble. Graces & Voices took part in the Imago Dei festival in March this year. The theme of the work is time, its incessant flow, temporality and the nature of human existence. Various texts in English, German and Lithuanian are used to convey the meaning of the work. The musical style of the work combines post-minimalism and neo-romanticism.
