Something cooking in Edvinas Minkstimas' Ethnic Kitchen



Edvinas Minkstimas and the Eucharist made beautiful music together at Our Lady of Vilnius, Minkstimas dressed casually and seated at the yellowed ivories of our basement hall piano.  He completed his doctoral studies at Juilliard and continues to grow as an artist.

His most recent e-blast informs us that he scored and performed the music for  a documentary called Ethnic Kitchen produced and directed by Aiste Ptakauske.  Info pasted below:


Dear Friends,

I am super-excited to announce the upcoming premiere of the documentary Ethnic Kitchen by producer/director and my dear friend, Aiste Ptakauske, on October 2nd in Forum Cinemas in Vilnius, followed by a tour of presentations throughout Lithuania! I wrote and performed music for this film, which was a wonderful creative experience for me.

The film explores experiences and life paths of five women from all over the world, who found themselves living in Lithuania. Moving and funny, the film strikes a chord in each one of us.

Upcoming events and presentations in US and elsewhere will take place in a near future. Stay tuned for more news!

Aiste's letter is below. You can learn more about this project by visiting www.pasauliovirtuve.eu, and make reservations for the premiere by contacting Akvile at akvile.bliujute@gmail.com

Hope you will have as much fun watching it as we had making this film happen!

Cheers,
Edvinas
