“There is no other life. It is very easy to nurture hatred. It is very difficult to nurture love, one has to water that tree all the time”, reminds writer G. Kanovičius. The performers, winners of various competitions who have formed guitar quartet five years ago, have chosen this beautiful line “All we need is love…” as a motto for this programme fluttering with tender verses and subtle instrumental melodies. The ensemble that has no analogue in the Baltic States performs in Lithuania and abroad, has represented Vilnius in Estonia, and earned recognition in International Symposium in Izerlon, one of the most significant guitar events in Europe. Judita Leitaitė does not even try to stay indifferent to this instrument - together with S. Krinitsin, her partner and master of classical guitar, and Baltic Guitar Quartet she has appeared in a number of intriguing programmes in the past.
