ACCOsax Freeminded in Concert, Vilnius – Lithuaniaby Rob Howard |
 ACCOsax Freeminded perform on Sunday October 17th, 7.pm – 8.30pm, at the Russian Drama Theatre, J.Basanavicius str. 13, Vilnius, Lithuania. This concert is part of the Vilnius Jazz Festival.The trio ACCOsax Freeminded are Raimondas Sviackevicius – accordion, Jan Maksimovic – sax, and Arkady Gotesman – percussion. Their music combines technical mastery, expression and subtlety, contemporary thinking and echoes from the past. Raimondas Sviackevicius has contributed a great deal to bringing the accordion to the most important music stages and festivals, and to expanding its repertoire. He studied accordion at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (LAMT), Lodz (Poland) and Sibelius (Finland) music academies, and the Royal Conservatory of The Hague (the Netherlands). His competition successes include prizes in four Lithuanian accordion competitions (1988, 1990, 1992 and 1994), and prizes at the ‘Citta di Castelfidardo’ (1996 and 1998) and in 1999 took second prize in the ‘Pianello Val Tidone’ competition, Italy. The same year he won first prize and received a special prize in ‘Premio Internazionale per fisarmonica Stefano Bizzari’, where the following year he became the absolute winner and was awarded the ‘Golden Lyre’. Since 2008 Raimondas Sviackevicius has been managing the Vilnius International Accordion Festival. For further information email: sviaraim@gmail.com |
