Work introduction
Ali (Wings, 2023) is a one-movement concerto for violoncello solo and symphony orchestra. The Italian title 'Ali' was inspired by both the instrument and the soloist as well as the creative process itself, as this piece is a reflection of freedom and movement, higher spheres and lower registers and the ability to soar and reach heights that would otherwise be unattainable.
World premiere of the piece took place on May 13 2023 at the International Klaipéda Cello Festival in Lithuania.
