on March 15th, 2025, Trio Agora had the honor of participating in a historic concert with the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla. As soloists, Trio Agora performed the world premiere of Joel Hoffman’s triple concerto, “Self-Portrait with Čiurlionis,” which was recorded by Baltic Mobile Records for Deutsche Grammophon’s streaming platform, Stage+.

Can’t wait to begin my year at the Conservatoire de la Vallée d’Aoste, nestled in the Alps, where I will teach cello and chamber music for the 2023/2024 academic year.
So excited for this wonderful release with Accentus Music!! The album is available on all streaming platforms - here’s a video of the pre-released concert at Clärchens Ballhaus Berlin. For more information, click here.
It was wonderful to work as a guest at the Schauspiel Leipzig, in the world premiere of the Music Theater project „Bohème - Träume Leipzig“ written by Anne Jelena Schulte and directed by Anna-Sophie Mahler. I‘ve just found out that the production will not be continuing into next season, but have wonderful memories from out time together. Photos: Rolf Arnold
This concert, organized by ASL 1, Rome, and the region of Lazio, was dedicated to the healthcare workers who have supported us all throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. It was broadcast live from the historic Ospedale degli Innocenti by the “Regione Lazio” Facebook page and YouTube channel. On the program: J. S. Bach, suite n. 4 for cello solo.
Despite the regulations around COVID-19, my Artist Diploma was able to happen, alongside Gary and Benjamin Hoffman, with the Orchestre de Chambre de Wallonie, and under the baton of Vahan Mardirossian.
It was a privilege to be a faculty member of the Nacionalinę moksleivių akademiją summer session in August 2018. With my colleagues from Trio Agora, we worked with bright, talented, and hardworking students for ten days in beautiful Nida, Lithuania.
We kicked off our tour of Belgium and Italy on November 17th at Atelier Marcel Hastir. Five premieres in one evening, all related to Lithuania, its history and folklore. Looking forward to our concerts in Italy!
