Between Silence and Light

A seated concert for attentive listening — an evening in which music and word become equals.

The programme features restrained interpretations of Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Peter Gabriel and Sting, interwoven with original songwriting by Justinas Stanislovaitis in Lithuanian and English. It is built around restraint: songs performed at the volume of conversation, with silence between the songs treated as a deliberate part of the listening experience.

It is written for rooms that already know how to listen — concert halls and theatres with seated audiences, international cultural institutes and foundations, embassies and diplomatic residences, art galleries and museum concert series, literary and music series, and refined hospitality venues. It is not background music and not a dance act. The repertoire is shaped personally to each venue and audience, and the programme is offered as a curated seated concert with a guaranteed artist fee.

Justinas Stanislovaitis is a Lithuanian singer-songwriter, composer and guitarist. He founded the band Justin 3 in 2014 and has since worked across sung poetry, acoustic song, and music for film and television. He first reached a national audience through Lietuvos balsas, the Lithuanian edition of The Voice; with Justin 3 he competed in the 2022 national Eurovision selection Pabandom iš naujo, broadcast by the national broadcaster LRT, and the band took the top prize at the JZ Microphones international composers’ competition in Latvia.

In 2021 he presented an album of dainuojamoji poezija — Lithuanian sung poetry — performed in a church. That quiet, text-led side of his work is what “Between Silence and Light” grew out of. Full biographies in English and Lithuanian are included in the press kit below.
