Is Romanticism really over? If yes, in what sense? Pianist Darius Mažintas and young-generation poet Egle Kirilauskaite will be answering these questions in an interactive manner, through poetry readings and piano compositions followed by a multi-layered discussion. The audience will be kindly invited to join the discussion on the reasons that led to the end of Romanticism. Its postmodern transformations will also be touched upon. The programme inspired by the dramatic love story of Frédéric Chopin and George Sand is a dedication to the composer’s 210th anniversary.
