Artist
© Florian GanslmeierJustė Janulytė
The works by Justė Janulytė(born in Vilnius), mostly written for dense monochromatic ensembles (only strings, only winds or only voices), explore musical time-space perception through large-scale multilayered textures and extremely gradual metamorphoses. While balancing between the aesthetics of minimalism, spectralism and acoustic electronica, Justė Janulytė composes sonic metaphors of optical ideas and researches the visual nature of musical phenomena in the works where sound and image are fused together.
In 2009 Janulyte won the International Rostrum of Composers in Paris (in the category of composers under 30). In 2011 the composer was awarded the Young Artist's Prize by the Lithuanian Ministry of Culture and in 2017 the Lithuanian National Arts and Culture Prize, the highest artistic distinction in Lithuania. In 2019 she won the ›Musica femina München‹ competition.
She has collaborated with quite a few of the world’s leading ensembles and soloists including the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, the WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln, the Teatro La Fenice Orchestra, the BBC Symphony and the National Orchestra of Wales, to name a few. In 2020 Justė Janulytė made her cinematic debut collaborating with Latvian director Viesturs Kairišs on the full length feature ›City on the River‹ continuing with ›January‹, which won the Tribeca (NY) Film Festival for the best international narrative feature as well as Roma Film Fest among others.
She is also engaged in teaching composition at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre and giving numerous masterclasses, including Madona/Latvia (2018), SYNTHETIS in Radziejowice/Poland together with Chaya Czernowin, Toshio Hosokawa, Zygmunt Krauze (2019), with Mark Andre, Ivan Fedele, Zygmunt Krauze (2020), International Young Composers Academy in Lugano/Switzerland with Oscar Bianchi and Mauro Lanza (2021) and Takefu International Music Festival in Japan (2023).
Justė Janulytė is a member of the Musical Council of theFondation Prince Pierre de Monaco.
