August 14, 2027, at Paliesius Manor — an encounter with Rūta Ščiogolevaitė and the music of the legendary Whitney Houston.

Returning to Paliesius Manor, singer Rūta Ščiogolevaitė presents a very special program dedicated to one of the brightest pop stars of all time — Whitney Houston. Together with pianist Paulius Zdanavičius, she invites you to rediscover the songs that have become an inseparable part of global music history.

Rūta Ščiogolevaitė is one of Lithuania’s most prominent vocalists, distinguished by her wide vocal range, technical mastery, and ability to compellingly convey music across various genres. She shines just as brightly on the pop stage as she does in the jazz world, her performances always brimming with charisma, humor, and a genuine connection with the audience.

For Rūta, the music of Whitney Houston represents far more than legendary hits. In the artist’s own words, Whitney was her first and greatest teacher, inspiring her with an extraordinary voice, strength, and musical expression. This concert serves as a heartfelt tribute to a singer whose artistry continues to move us today, through songs that have lost none of their emotional power or familiarity.

She will be joined on stage by pianist Paulius Zdanavičius — Rūta’s longtime stage companion, pianist, and arranger, with whom she shares numerous musical projects. Their duet will allow the most essential elements of the concert to unfold: the voice, the melody, and the profound emotion of the songs.

The program will feature Whitney Houston’s most beloved songs, including “I Will Always Love You,” “I Have Nothing,” and “Dance with Somebody.” This is music filled with love, longing, freedom, and the joy of life — the very feelings that have made these songs beloved companions to different generations of listeners for decades.

On August 14 at Paliesius Manor, we invite you to an evening with Rūta Ščiogolevaitė and music that makes you want to sing along, reminisce, and experience every emotion all over again!
