Established by the Gaida festival in 2002, the GAIDA ENSEMBLE
is a large sinfonietta-type contemporary music ensemble that
has already proved its ability to perform different kinds of new
music with exceptional quality. Being the first ensemble of this
sort in Lithuania, the Gaida Ensemble filled a gap in the
panorama of Lithuanian modern music. The ensemble produces
enthusiastic and precise interpretations of sophisticated opuses
by Lithuanian and foreign composers, inspires new creative
ideas, and initiates the creation of valuable new works.
The best of Lithuania’s instrumentalists were invited to play
for this collective, thus all the musicians of the ensemble are
true virtuosos of their respective instruments. Different
conductors with outstanding experience in new music have
been asked to design programmes for the Gaida Ensemble. The
first project was made together with young Finnish conductor
Jussi Jaatinen and successfully performed at the Gaida festival
(October 2002) and the MaerzMusik in Berliner Festspiele
(March 2003). In Gaida Festival 2003 the Gaida Ensemble has
appeared under the Belgian conductor Daniel Gazon.
The recent and up-coming repertoire of the ensemble includes
works by leading Lithuanian composers Bronius Kutavièius,
Osvaldas Balakauskas, Šarûnas Nakas, Remigijus Merkelys,
Vykintas Baltakas, Raminta Šerkšnytë, Vytautas V. Jurgutis,
Jurgis Juozapaitis, Algirdas Martinaitis and internationally
known authors, such as György Ligeti, Luca Francesconi, Gerard
Grisey, Marco Stroppa, Peter Eötvös, John Adams, Claude Vivier
and others.
In September 2004 the Gaida Ensemble made a successful
appearance at the Klangspuren Festival in Austria, where joined
by British violinist Irvine Arditti premiered works by
contemporary Lithuanian and foreign composers. The ensemble
was invited to take part in the renowned Venetian Bienale in
October, where together with Orchestra della Toscana will
perform Poussla by Vykintas Baltakas (conductor Dominique
My).
At the Gaida Festival 2004 Gaida Ensemble will introduce three
new programmes featuring chamber music and musical theatre.
In addition to his phenomenal career as first violinist of the
Arditti Quartet, IRVINE ARDITTI continues to excel as an
extraordinary soloist. Born in London in 1953, Irvine Arditti
began his studies at the Royal Academy of Music at the age of
16. He joined the London Symphony Orchestra in 1976 and
after two years, at the age of 25, became its Co-Concert Master.
He left the orchestra in 1980 in order to devote more time to
the Arditti Quartet which he had formed while still a student.
During the past decade Irvine Arditti has given the world
premiéres of a plethora of large scale works especially written
for him. These include Xenakis’ Dox Orkh and Hosokawa’s
Landscape III, both for violin and orchestra, as well as
Ferneyhough’s Terrain, Francesconi’s Riti Neurali, Dillon’s Vernal
Showers and Harvey’s Scena, all for violin and ensemble. He
has appeared with many distinguished orchestras and
ensembles including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Berlin Radio
Symphony Orchestra, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Munich
