Lithuanian flutist challenges classical music norms with 'Embodied Music'

Lithuanian flutist Dominyka Šeibok is challenging traditional perceptions of classical music by integrating it with visual arts and performance. Returning to Lithuania after her studies and creative experiences in the United States, Šeibok introduces a novel project titled 'Embodied Music'. This project aims to make classical music a multi-sensory experience, combining the auditory with the visual and theatrical. Šeibok believes classical music can be not only heard but also seen, a concept she actively explores through her performances. The fusion of classical compositions with body movement, theater, and visual elements creates a dynamic and immersive artistic presentation. 'Embodied Music' represents a significant departure from conventional classical music interpretations in Lithuania. While the country has a rich tradition of classical music, Šeibok's innovative approach, which merges music with performance art, is largely unprecedented. Her work seeks to engage audiences in new ways, offering a fresh perspective on familiar compositions and pushing the boundaries of artistic expression within the classical genre.
