Biography

I was born in Siauliai, Lithuania in 1994 and developed an interest in music and the arts from a young age. I began piano lessons at the age of six and soon joined the junior department of the Siauliai Conservatoire, studying with Professor Olga Popova. During my time there, I performed in concerts at the Siauliai Philharmonia, Saule Concert Hall, and the Conservatoire Grand Concert Hall.

In 2005 I moved to Scotland and, the following year, began studying at St Mary’s Music School in Edinburgh. I studied piano with Richard Beauchamp, organ with Simon Nieminsky and Duncan Ferguson, and voice with Margaret Aronson. At St Mary’s I performed both as a soloist and chamber musician, reached the final rounds of the John Clyde and Director’s Recital Prize competitions, and participated in masterclasses with Steven Osborne, Noriko Ogawa, Katherine Page, Ian Jones, Yonty Solomon, Roy Howat, and Idil Biret.

I moved to London in 2012 to study for a Bachelor’s degree at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, working with Peter Bithell, Rolf Hind, and Laura Roberts. I completed my Master’s degree in 2019 at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance as a scholarship student under the tutelage of Mikhail Kazakevich. During my studies I performed in the Debussy and Brahms festivals at Trinity Laban, played Stravinsky’s Firebird and Janáček’s Cunning Little Vixen Suite with the Trinity Laban Symphony Orchestra, and took part in masterclasses with Pascal Rogé, Niklas Pokki, and Peter Donohoe.

I have performed in venues including Milton Court Concert Hall, the Chapel of the Old Royal Naval College, Blackheath Halls, St Mary’s Cathedral, Palmerston Place Church, and the Académie de Musique de Braine‑l’Alleud in Belgium.

Since moving to Glasgow in 2022, I have been working as an accompanist and piano teacher, as well as organist and choir leader in All Saints Church in Bearsden. Recent performances include a piano duo concert at Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh, Dunkeld Cathedral and Corbenic Community Centre, and upcoming events include a solo recital at Dunkeld Cathedral and a piano duo concert in Bothwell Church.
