Viva Italia! at Vilnius City Hall. The Ammara–Prosseda duo, among the most renowned Italian piano duos, has been captivating audiences in prestigious concert halls around the world for more than two decades. While pursuing distinguished international solo careers, the artists have been creating exceptional piano duo performances together since 1999, earning acclaim from critics and audiences alike.

The audience at the International M. K. Čiurlionis Festival will have a unique opportunity to hear both artists not only as a piano duo but also as soloists. The program will feature A. Casella’s dramatic “Pages of War,” F. Schubert’s poetic impromptus, F. Chopin’s virtuosic études, and one of the most beautiful masterpieces of piano ensemble music—F.
