Now the artist Skaidra Jancaite fills her projects not only with vocal music of different centuries and styles, but also with her photographs. This time the singer offers you a new exposition and musical project called “Forbidden-dangerous art”.

Programme

1. Luciano Berio - Sequenza III is one part of the cycle “Sequences” (1966). It is a series of works that are a little theatricalized using a musical language that was completely new at the time. All sounds – sighs, exclamations, outbursts of laughter, and anger were recorded by the composer in very exact signs that alternate very rapidly as if in a fast-forwarded melodrama.

2. Cathy Berberyan -“Stripsody” a piece of vocal music by and graphic artist Robert Zamarin (1966) written in comical or otherwise intriguin for centuries. They both have meanings of good and evil. The Sun gives life, but it also takes it. The Lion and the Sun are signs of justice and fire, they are energies that, when communicated by different expressions of the body, demonstrate the wheel of change. The Sun is always in the zenith, sunset, and dawn.

4. Skaidra J. – “9 J. A's joints” (2005) is an electronic mix. Antanukas Jasenka my musical friend of mine family constructed from nine A. Jasenka's noises and nine poems of the author >needs an injection of music and something else, “a trifle of sense on a palm…” every nine seconds.

5. Skaidra J. – “A Knot” (2005) a musical pantomime. This piece is a part of a project done together with Danish graphic artists, “The Deadly Sins”. The time comes for everybody to get acquainted with pride, wrath, envy, greed, gluttony, sloth, and lust. You decide to give one of them up and then realize how dependent you are on pleasures. You indulge until you are overcome by suffering and then try to turn away from them again… but you long to relish, relish, and relish – together with the body.

6. Skaidra J. – “The Flow” (2003) Poetry of ancient Indians translated into Lithuanian by Gytis Norvilas. >In this flow of sounds, words, rhythm, time, feeling, and history lies my love for the culture of Native Americans. Having returned from my first trip to the USA, I discovered G. Norvilas' translations in “Siaures Atenai” and felt that I couldn't keep silent – I had to sing their ideas out. So I did – I embellished them with the names of Lithuanian herbs that also grow, only twice as big, in the lands of Indians, melodies, and rhythms that >sounded within me for Indianland.

 

"Skaidra Jančaitė is būrio kitų jaunų dainininkų išsiskiria itin individualia kūrybine raiška ir asmenybės harmoningumu. Ji niekad neina tiesiu, kitų išmintu keliu, bet atkakliai ieško savo kūrybinio veido. Skaidra rimtai studijuoja ne tik vokalą ir muziką, jos interesai aprėpia filosofiją, religijotyrą, literatūrą, fotografiją, sokįi. Būtent dėl to ji sugeba labai giliai pažvelgti įi atliekamą kūrinį, praturtinti jį ivairiomis prasmėmis ir žavėti klausytojus tiek šiuolaikinės muzikos, tiek džiazo ar tango interpretacijomis. Ji drąsi menininkë, todėl nebijo rizikuoti pasirinkdama sudėtingas programas (ką reiškia viename koncerte atlikti Schoenbergo, Musorgskio, Messiaeno ir Poulenco vokalinius ciklus!), ar keliaudama koncertuoti į atkampiausius Lietuvos miestelius. Manau, nebūtų per drąsu, jei Skaidros zmogiškąją ir atlikėjiškąją brandą palyginčiau su Renesanso menininko, nuolat tobulinusio savo asmenybę ivairiu sričių pažinimu, visapusišku išsilavinimu."

S.Jančaitės pasirinktas kelias – šiuolaikinė muzika. Atlikėja eina juo septynmyliais žingsniais. Kiekvienos frazės, kiekvieno sakinio gilumoje galime įžvelgti praeitą darbą ir įdirbį. Koncertiniame variante - beveik viskas be vargo, be akivaizdziai matomų pastangų, viskas pajungiama meninei idėjai realizuoti. Tai - didelis dainininkės nuopelnas, kartu tapęs dovana kamerinio vokalo mėgėjams.
