28 November Millefleur (2025) will receive its UK premiere at the Huddersfield Festival, performed by the Ensemble for New Music Tallinn conducted by Arash Yazdani. Commissioned by LRT – Lithuanian National Radio, the work was premiered by ENMT in Vilnius during Baltic Music Days – Muzikos Ruduo. The ensemble subsequently performed it at Naxos Hall in Frankfurt. The recording of Millefleur (2025) represented Lithuania at the International Rostrum of Composers radio competition in Riga.

4 October Justina Repečkaitė’s string quartet Almageste I (2026) will be performed by Quatuor Adastra at the Musica Festival in Strasbourg. The quartet premiered the work this summer at Festival d’Autan in Occitanie, where Repečkaitė is composer-in-residence in 2026.

On 26 September, Linos Trio will perform the third and final part of Justina Repečkaitė’s Echo Chamber (2024–2026) at the Linos Festival in Cologne. The first two parts were performed by the trio at the same festival in 2024, in a concert that also featured Quatuor Zaïde performing Repečkaitė’s Unbenannt-2 (2016).

13 September Justina Repečkaitė’s new composition Digitalis (2026) for solo clarinet will be performed by Anaïs Dufresnoy at Théâtre L’Echangeur, Bagnolet during the Festival Ensemble(s) en prélude of the concert Mors Osculi. Written as part of an educational project for Szymon Kaca’s student at the Conservatoire d’Ivry, the piece was commissioned by Ensemble 2e2m.

That permeability between voice and instrument runs throughout the album. Singing performers, hybrid timbres and discreet electronics continually broaden the acoustic field. The closing “La muë” brings many of these ideas together. Drawing on an eighteenth-century treatise on the changing adolescent voice, the work combines children’s choir, electronics and the extraordinary sound of the serpent, played and sung simultaneously by Patrick Wibart.

Listening to Tapestries, one gradually realises that Repečkaitė is not interested in translating images into music. She is interested in translating systems of thought. Architecture becomes form, birdsong becomes resonance, botanical knowledge becomes gesture, and the changing human voice becomes an evolving sonic landscape.

Gianmarco Del Re, A Closer Listen

Read a German review of Tapestries in Part X of series “Pearls of the Baltic Sea.” Til Rohgalf explores the debut album by Lithuanian composer Justina Repečkaitė in “Timbres between Electroacoustics and Mannerism,” published by Kulturkompass.

Read review Justina Repečkaitė: Tapestries by Vito Camarretta, published on Chain D.L.K. on 5 August 2026. There are composers who write music as if they were building monuments, and others who compose as if they were patiently weaving threads. Lithuanian composer Justina Repeckaite undoubtedly belongs to the latter category. Her debut portrait album, "Tapestries", gathers works spanning more than a decade, from 2012 to 2024, but this is far more than a retrospective. It feels like wandering through a carefully curated exhibition where each room reveals another facet of an artistic language shaped equally by architecture, medieval symbolism, acoustics, and an unusually tactile understanding of sound.

Festival d’Autan’s 11th edition continues its journey across Occitanie, presenting a diverse programme that brings together repertoire and new music.

This year’s edition features composer-in-residence Justina Repečkaitė alongside a range of distinguished artists, with a focus on dialogue between styles, periods, and forms. The festival highlights both major works and contemporary creation through performances in a variety of venues, from intimate settings to larger-scale productions.

On his blog, 5against4, composer, writer, and researcher Simon Cummings devoted an article to Justina Repečkaitė’s album Tapestries (2026):

Tension, climax, release. That’s not simply familiar but one of the most fundamental progressions we encounter in all forms of art. So it’s been fascinating to hear how Lithuanian composer Justina Repečkaitė sidesteps and reconfigures this most basic dramatic contour repeatedly on the first album devoted to her music, Tapestries. That’s not the point of her music, i hasten to add, and in fact Repečkaitė goes to great lengths to articulate the conceptual thinking behind each of the eight works included here. Yet those backstories, while important (and interesting), nonetheless also come to feel like so many starting points, moments of ignition leading to music that travels far beyond their inspirational origins, occupying sustained, demonstrably heightened states.

Tapestries appears on the article The Best Contemporary Classical Music on Bandcamp, May 2026 by Peter Margasak : “Lithuanian composer Justina Repečkaitė presents a remarkable survey of the first decade of her work as a composer, each of its eight works offering dizzyingly varied sides of her music. <…>”
