Changing places: Gediminas Gelgotas conducts Kristjan Järvi

The friendship and collaboration between Lithuanian composer Gediminas Gelgotas and Estonian/American conductor Kristjan Järvi (read my interview with Kristjan Järvi) began in 2011, and since then Järvi has conducted a number of Gelgotas's works including his Symphony No. 1 Extracultural which Järvi premiered with the MDR Radio Orchestra in Leipzig.

Gelgotas is founder and artistic director of the New Ideas Chamber Orchestra, an ensemble which plays mainly minimalist / progressive classical repertoire from memory.
