With Petras Geniušas

In collaboration with the Lithuanian American Community of Houston, the Rothko Chapel presents award-winning classical pianist Petras Geniušas in an afternoon concert in the intimate setting of the Chapel. The one-and-a-half hour program will spotlight works by Robert Shumann and two Lithuanian composers—one contemporary and one classic. Reputed as one of the most gifted and accomplished Lithuanian pianists of his generation, Geniušas has toured internationally and performed at major concert venues. Having mastered an extensive repertoire of classical, Romantic, and contemporary works, Geniusas has shared stage appearances with musical giants such as Rostropovich, Munuchin, Kniazev, Geringas, and Chekassin. In recognition of his wide-ranging concert activities and artistic accomplishments, he became the recipient of the Lithuanian National Award 1992 and the WIPO Creativity Award in 2004.
