Who is Justinas Stanislovaitis?

Justinas Stanislovaitis is a Lithuanian singer-songwriter and concert artist based in Vilnius. He performs the seated acoustic concert programme "Between Silence and Light", combining restrained interpretations of Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Peter Gabriel and Sting with original songwriting. He also performs live music for private and corporate events across Europe.

What is "Between Silence and Light"?

"Between Silence and Light" (Lithuanian: "Tarp tylos ir šviesos") is a 75–90 minute seated acoustic concert programme designed for attentive audiences. The format is duo (voice + acoustic guitar + brushed percussion), with an optional accordion variant. It is built for concert halls, theatres, embassies, cultural foundations, gallery openings and curated cultural series — not for venues that need background music.

Where does Justinas Stanislovaitis perform?

Across European cultural venues — concert halls, theatres, embassies, cultural institutes and curated concert series — with recent performances in Switzerland, Austria, Lithuania and the wider EU. In 2026 the programme is being introduced to Asian cultural venues (Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong). For private and corporate events he works across Germany, Austria, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Switzerland.

What musical influences shape the programme?

The programme sits in the literary acoustic tradition associated with Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Peter Gabriel and Sting. The interpretations of those writers are performed alongside original songs in Lithuanian and English. The shared attitude across the four is restraint — songs performed at the volume of conversation, with silence treated as an instrument.

What languages does Justinas Stanislovaitis perform in?

Lithuanian and English. International audiences understand the programme without translation — it relies on silence and atmosphere as much as on words. The artist is fluent in both languages for stage announcements and audience interaction.

What format is required for a concert?

A seated, attentive audience and a room that values silence between songs. The standard line-up is duo (vocal / acoustic guitar + brushed percussion), 75–90 minutes, with optional intermission. The format can scale down to solo (voice + guitar) or up to trio with accordion. Technical rider is straightforward; full details available on request.

Can Justinas Stanislovaitis perform at a corporate event or gallery opening?

Yes. The "Between Silence and Light" format adapts naturally to refined corporate evenings, gallery openings, vernissages, embassy receptions, foundation events and book launches. For private celebrations and weddings there is a separate programme of live music. Both directions are described on the artist's website at justinasstanislovaitis.lt.

What kind of venues fit the programme?

Concert halls and theatres with seated audiences. Cultural institutes (Goethe-Institut, Korea Foundation, Institut français, Asia-Europe Foundation and similar). Embassies and diplomatic residences. Refined hospitality venues (Aman, Rosewood, Mandarin Oriental, Capella). Art galleries and museum concert series. Foundations and literary venues. Refined corporate spaces with a literary or cultural identity.

What is Justinas Stanislovaitis's background?

A Lithuanian singer-songwriter with a multi-project career — from contemporary band work (Justin 3, Lithuanian Myths and Legends) to refined acoustic programmes for cultural venues. "Between Silence and Light" is the concentrated expression of his artistic identity: restrained acoustic format anchored in interpretation, original songwriting and the power of attentive listening.

Is the concert programme suitable for international audiences?

Yes. The programme has been developed for cross-cultural cultural-venue audiences. The shared international literary songwriter canon (Cohen, Cave, Gabriel, Sting) is recognisable across Europe, Asia and North America. The format relies on silence and atmosphere more than on language comprehension.

Does Justinas Stanislovaitis perform at weddings or only at concerts?

Both. The artist runs two parallel programmes — "Between Silence and Light" for cultural venues and seated concert audiences, and a separate live-music programme for private and corporate events including weddings, anniversaries, gala dinners and embassy receptions. The two programmes share the same artistic identity but use different formats.

What is the artist's recommended evening format?

A seated 75-minute concert with no intermission, or 90 minutes with a short intermission. For receptions, three shorter sets of 20–25 minutes interleaved with the cocktail and dinner moments. The seated form is what the programme was written for and what the artist recommends for first engagements.

How is Justinas Stanislovaitis different from a wedding band or cover act?

He is neither. The programme is built for attentive listening — the volume, the song choices, the silence between songs and the seated format are deliberately not designed for background music or dancing. For wedding or corporate events with a refined seated moment (ceremony, dinner concert, after-dinner literary segment), the same artistic approach applies; for high-energy dance reception music the artist directs hosts to other acts.
