Vilnius Town Hall presents the photography exhibition Pianissimo by Dmitrijus Matvejevas, featuring two series: Waiting and Tss…. These works, captured in the concert halls and backstage of the Lithuanian National Philharmonic, reveal the subtle moments of anticipation and musical creation.
The Waiting series conveys the silence and concentration just before a performance begins. Photographs of musicians, performers, and conductors preparing to immerse themselves in sound reflect an inner sense of anticipation, focus, and longing.
Tss… captures the delicate gestures of conductors urging the orchestra to play pianissimo — very softly. These images evoke the quiet tension and attentiveness that fills the air as soon as one steps into the concert hall.
Dmitrijus Matvejevas is a long-standing photographer of the performing arts, recognized both in Lithuania and internationally. His work is distinguished by a sensitivity to the moment and an ability to unveil the unseen spirit of the musical world.
We invite you to visit the exhibition and experience the harmony of silence, music, and emotion through the lens of Dmitrijus Matvejevas.
