Information: Composer and pianist Julius Andrejevas is a well-known piano teacher, who has worked in musical schools of various levels in Lithuania, as well as the private Vigo Conservatoire in Spain. The composer’s work mainly consists of piano compositions, educational repertoire and chamber music. In his work Andrejevas refers to both the traditional ways of musical development and various techniques widespread in the 20th century music (serial, aleatoric music etc.). His music is noted for vivid emotional expression, consistent dramaturgy, integrity of the musical material and frequent use of modal and rhythmic interplay. One of his most popular compositions is "Fate" for piano, commissioned by the International M.K. Čiurlionis Piano and Organ Competition.
