Donatas ZAKARAS

Singing in choirs from his childhood, Donatas Zakaras is an expert on choral writing and the possibilities of a human voice. Therefore his work is distinguished by exceptional respect to a singer and his/her voice.

Serene lyric mood, clear texture, and tonal sound are characteristic of many of his compositions – sometimes spiced up with unusual timbral combinations, aleatoric and sonoristic effects, theatrical moments, and excursions into postmodern humour.
