The connection with music started developing from Lithuanian folklore back in my childhood years. It was then when I first encountered the zither and its music. However, later I discovered the zither in a new way and in 2006 dived into its magic. I started my music career performing Lithuanian songs, and later songs from other countries, with the group "Sen Svaja" and the folklore project "Laiminguo" and am still an active member of both. I lead individual zither lessons as well as zither group circles where brand-new compositions of Lithuanian folk and multipart songs are brought to life. I started my solo career in the spring of 2017. The compositions of zither music are interwoven with the motifs of Lithuanian folk and multipart songs, and bring one to the depths of the world of fairy tales. I believe that playing the zither is like wandering in an enchanted forest, listening to the smallest sounds and music that it is hiding. Open up, and you will hear.
