On the evening of August 10, the nearly 400-year-old Žemosios Panemunės Manor—a site steeped in history—invites you to a unique encounter between music, nature, and architecture.

About the concert:
Audiences will be immersed into a world of jazz and improvisation led by an extraordinary and rarely spotlighted instrument — the harmonica. Italian virtuoso Gianluca Littera is one of the few musicians in the world to perform classical, contemporary, and jazz works on this instrument, bringing it to major international concert halls.
G. Littera has collaborated with Brazilian composer and conductor Gil Jardim on Brazilian music projects, including a CD of original works and arrangements for harmonica and orchestra. In 2010, he performed Ennio Morricone’s Immobile 2 for harmonica and orchestra with the Santa Cecilia Academy Orchestra, conducted by the composer himself.
This time, Gianluca Littera returns to Lithuania not alone but with his jazz quartet Double Breath, featuring Fabio Gorlier (piano), Stefano Profeta (double bass), and Mattia Barbieri (percussion). Expect an evening full of vibrant improvisation and Mediterranean flair.
