Saulius Petreikis – one of the few people in Europe who has a unique collection of musical instruments from all over the world and is using them to create and perform his own music. Although Saulius studied classical trumpet in Klaipėda’s Stasys Šimkus Conservatory (2001-2004) and Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (2004 – 2010) but for the last ten years he is genuinely exploring the World Music. While playing music he connects light-playfulness and deep sincerity, spontaneous expression, and inclination to a synthesis of different styles. Saulius professionally plays various wind instruments from all over the world. Raised in a family of folk musicians, Saulius pays a lot of attention to Lithuanian folk music. He is always looking for new sounds, is daring to experiment and improvise.
