Founded in 2013 by conductor Karolis Variakojis and composer Dominykas Digimas. Contemporary Music Ensemble Synaesthesis has a growing reputation within the contemporary music world. This team of young and ambitious musicians has taken up the mission of introducing works of experimental Lithuanian and foreign composers to the performance venues. The ensemble’s vision goes beyond sound - but into space, light, movement, and narrative – anything that allows professionally performed music to become a multidimensional creation, blurring lines between genres. The ensemble is an active performer in Lithuania’s contemporary music scene and its festivals, such as Druskomanija, Ahead and Gaida. Making its first, but very secure steps into the international scene Synaethesis participated in the ‘International Summer Academy’ in Austria (ISA 2016), where it was awarded the ‘Just Composed’ interpretation prize for the best performance of the premiered piece ‘Lithuanian Rotation’ by Sylvain Marty; and is invited to the International Contemporary Music Festival Crossroads in Salzburg as an ensemble in residence for the second time. Ensemble Synaesthesis is under the auspices of composer Rytis Mažulis, mentored by members of Ictus, Klangforum Wien, Quatour Tana, Chordos, and FortVio Ensembles.
