in 2022 In April, the Canadian charity foundation "Looking at the Stars", founded by the philanthropist Dmitry Kanovičius, the son of writer Grigorijus Kanovičius, organized a unique concert by pianist Darius Mazinitsa in Ukraine - in Irpyne, devastated by the Russian aggressors. "Our mission is to restore hope and dignity to those who have lost them. For those who need it the most and who least expect it," said D. Kanovičius. Therefore, the delicate piano lyric of the Polish composer Fryderyk Chopin, which sounds in the pianist's recital, symbolically conveys the pursuit of freedom.
Darius Mažintas playing the piano is associated with expressiveness, emotionality and delicacy. The pianist is characterized by a unique interpretation, unexpected nuances and distinctive musical images. D. Mažintas has won awards in international competitions, is invited to play music at festivals, performs with various orchestras and recognized Lithuanian and foreign artists. He is also the author of educational music projects, the organizer of charity concerts and the founder of cultural institutions.
