“Lithuanian composer Justine Repečkaitė's compositions have been praised as life cycles of sonic figures… Processes are quite plant-like, truly organic: withering, germinating, unfolding, wilting, bursting into bloom, blossoming.” (Lithuanian National Radio) One of her most famous works, “Chartres”, has already been performed by several ensembles, including the BBC Philharmonic, and features "intense richness of color" (Ben Lunn, Music Sun), inspired by the proportions found in medieval art and the spectacular rosette-shaped stained glass windows in Chartres Cathedral in France.”
