More about the concert

We invite you to spend the first Sunday of December in a festive spirit! Two young talents, Danish pianist Jason Lee Reks Jacobsen and Lithuanian violinist Dovydas Čiplys, will present a cozy afternoon filled with charming music.

Jason Lee Reks Jacobsen (b. 2010) began playing the piano at the age of seven, and since 2022, he has been studying at Gradus Junior College under Martin Lysholm Jepsen.

He has won prizes in numerous music competitions. Among them: the International Franz Liszt Youth Piano Competition in Qingdao, China (1st prize, 2019), “The Classical Junior” competition in Denmark (1st prize, 2023–2025), the “Steinway Nordic” International Piano Competition in Sweden (2nd prize, 2025), “Pianister i Nord” (1st prize, 2024–2025; prize for the best performance of a work by Ravel, 2025), and the “Music Without Limits” International Piano Competition in Lithuania (1st prize, 2024–2025).

He has also attended masterclasses with pianists such as Roberto Prosseda, Sveinung Bjelland, Amalie Malling, Aleksandra Žvirblytė, Guoda Gedvilaitė, and Alexander Ivanov, and has performed in Denmark and abroad.

Dovydas Čiplys (b. 2010) is currently studying at the National M. K. Čiurlionis School of Art, in the violin class of Prof. Rūta Lipinaitytė. Dovydas is a scholarship recipient of the M. Rostropovich Charity and Support Foundation “Help for Lithuanian Children”.

The young violinist is a laureate of various international competitions. Among them: the International V. Radovich Competition (Grand Prix winner, 2025), the International Competition “Music Without Limits” (1st prize, 2025), the B. Dvarionas and S. Sondeckis International Violin Competitions (2nd prize, 2024), and the 10th International A. Dombrovsky Competition (2026) in Latvia.

As a soloist, Dovydas has frequently appeared with various Lithuanian orchestras — he has performed with the Lithuanian, St. Christopher, and “Music Without Limits” festival chamber orchestras, as well as the “Camerata Solaris” orchestra at the Lithuanian National Philharmonic, Kaunas State Philharmonic, St. Catherine’s Church, and others.

Dovydas continuously hones his musical skills in masterclasses, having participated in open lessons with violinists and professors Boris Brovtsyn, Liudmila Witek-Worobej, and Philip A. Draganov. In the summer of 2026, Dovydas Čiplys received an invitation to participate in the prestigious SIMA (Swiss International Music Academy) in Switzerland.

Festive anticipation begins in the kitchen. On December 6 at 12:00 PM at the manor, we will knead dough together, shape little kūčiukai, and hear about old Christmas Eve traditions. Such an aroma is never found in spring or summer: only in winter, when it is already dark outside the window, and warm inside the manor.
