I am a countertenor, manager, and founder of Vokalinio Meno Tinklas. You are more than welcome here ♥

It was a gesture of solidarity. Our thoughts are with the events unfolding in Lithuania. It was deeply moving that our mentor Doris Huber also took part in the artistic action at Mozartplatz. Let us not grow weary. ❤️

I departed for Austria. This trip is dedicated to gaining experience in contemporary vocal music. I’ll be delving into the melodic dimension and interpretation of contemporary repertoire and preparing premieres of new works.

Honored to be part of L. yra S. at Vilnius Small Theatre (dir. Greta Štormer).

It was a true joy to sing the music composed by Jūra Elena Šedytė.

Caccini’s Amarilli was my first exam at LMTA. So grateful to revisit it in Late Junctions—a beautiful program by Operomanija & Vokalinio meno tinklas.

With pianist Svaja Skučienė.

Schubert’s Ihr Bild – where music and memory merge.

What happens when past and present collide in sound?

Live with Ignas Juzokas, we wove folk, Baroque, and electronic elements—uniting Bijūnėlis, Caccini, and Tourdion through modular synthesis and voice.

To be seen, yet confined. "Casta Diva" dives into the struggle between uniqueness and societal judgment.

A performance of limits, identity, and resilience:

March 11 – the day we reclaimed our voice. Vidmantas Bartulis’ Kodėl? (Why?) echoes through time—some questions never fade, but music helps us remember.

Performed with dear Svaja Skučienė at Biržai

The wind returns, but joy is absent. Monteverdi’s Zefiro Torna reminds us that nature’s renewal does not always mirror the heart’s longing. Honored to share this live performance with dear friends:

I sang Buvau laimingas (I Was Happy) by Mykolas Natalevičius in a concert for solidarity with Ukraine. Some songs don’t just echo—they hold the weight of loss and longing. What does it mean to sing about happiness in times of uncertainty?

pound of flesh. A marketplace of voices. Inspired by The Merchant of Venice, this program merges Renaissance madrigals into a tale of debt, desire, and value. Filmed in Kėdainiai. How do we measure the worth of a voice today?

Joined Europa Chor Akademie for Verdi's Requiem with a 60-voice choir and Hamburger Symphoniker. First rehearsal: nerves, self-doubt, but kind words from colleagues melted the "imposter" feeling. Excited for Hamburg's Laeiszhalle! #Verdi #Requiem #ClassicalMusic
