"New Musical Generation"
“New Musical Generation” (NMG) is one of the leading performing arts organizations in Lithuania, presenting the most talented young musicians of classical music on an international scale. It works with a wide range of instrumentalists, including pianists, violinists and vocalists.
The mission of NMG is to present classical music on the highest level by constantly searching for new, young, exceptionally talented musicians; helping them to develop careers; and attracting new audiences to the concert hall, in particular young people.
To achieve its goals, the organization is active in several areas: NMG organizes concerts in prestigious Lithuanian and world concert halls, represents international artists working exclusively in the field of classical music and implements educational programs for young people.
Since its founding in 2006, NMG has organized many successful concerts for internationally acclaimed young artists, including Lithuanian pianist Kasparas Uinskas; the winner of the XIII International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow – pianist Miroslav Kultyshev; the second prize winner of the XVI International Chopin piano competition in Warsaw (2010) - Austrian pianist Ingolf Wunder; Ukrainian pianist Alexei Grynyuk; pianist from USA – Igor Lovchinsky, opera singer Sandra Janušaitė; violinist Diana Galvydytė; Russian violinists Andrey Baranov and Sergey Malov, German violinist Alexander Gilman, Ukrainian bayanist Alexander Hrustevich and guitarist from Netherlands – Wim den Herder.
“New Musical Generation” has organized concerts at world famous concert halls, including Berlin Philharmonie; New York’s Carnegie Hall; and London’s Wigmore Hall, where it organized the hugely successful 2009/2010 London debut for pianist Miroslav Kultyshev and the solo recital for the pianist Alexei Grynyuk.
The programming and artists of NMG are meticulously selected in order to always adhere to uncompromising standards. Perhaps as a consequence of this approach, NMG is experiencing packed concert halls, passionate applause and sincere support of its audience. During only a few years organization grew, searched and, finally, matured... resulting in a new breakthrough.
This summer from July 7th through 16th, NMG presented the inaugural “New Musical Generation” Summer Festival and Academy, which consolidated in one space some of the most talented young performers from all over the world who brought a real music feast to Vilnius. Each evening, musicians performed solo or chamber music concerts and, during the day, they taught festival academy students at master classes and individual lessons. The festival turned out to be a great success among listeners and students and hopefully it will become important event in Lithuanian cultural life.
NMG also organizes and implements educational outreach programs at high schools and music schools in Lithuania. Featured artists of “New Musical Generation” meet the students and talk about classical music, illustrating their stories with live performances. To date, this program has been presented to more than 7000 pupils, many of whom now attend classical music concerts more often.
