Piano trio FortVio
The members of the piano trio FortVio (Indrė Baikštytė – piano, Ingrida Rupaitė – violin and Povilas Jacunskas – cello) have been playing together since 2005. In April 2006 the piano trio FortVio took the 1st place at the 5th International Stasys Vainiūnas Piano and Chamber Ensembles Competition. In May 2006 this ensemble represented Lithuania at the international festival Dialogue of Culture that took place at the Moscow P. I. Tchaikovsky Conservatoire (Russia).
In summer 2006 the piano trio FortVio participated in the 16th International Sommerakademie 06 Prague-Vienna-Budapest in Reichenau (Austria) held by professors A. Kouyoumdjian, S. Devich, F. Rados, P. Schuhmayer and J. Kluson. During the master classes FortVio won the prize for an outstanding interpretation of a work by a Viennese classic composer and a Special Prize for the best performance of a chamber opus.
In September 2006 the ensemble took the 3rd place at the 13th International Johannes Brahms competition in Poertschach (Austria).

In 2007 the trio FortVio was invited to give a concert in the Consulate of the Republic of Lithuania in St. Petersburg (Russia) to celebrate the Independence Day of Lithuania.
The debut at the Thomas Mann Festival in summer 2007 was a great success. The same summer the piano trio FortVio participated in the 17th International Sommerakademie 07 Prague-Vienna-Budapest in Reichenau (Austria). During the master classes FortVio won the Special Prize for the best performance of a chamber opus (Piano Trio e-minor, op. 67 by Dmitri Shostakovich).

A pleasant and slightly naughty event was the encounter with the youthful piano trio FortVio (Indrė Baikštytė – piano, Ingrida Rupaitė – violin, Povilas Jacunskas – cello), which performed Piano Trio C Major by J. Haydn in such a scamp manner and with a dramatic power which fascinated everybody even more in their performance of Piano Trio No 2 by D. Shostakovich.

V.M.: To continue the subject of discoveries during the festival I probably won’t be wrong in singling out the heated interpretations by the piano trio FortVio – Indrė Baikštytė, Ingrida Rupaitė, Povilas Jacunskas – on the 17th of July at the Festival’s Debuts concert.<..> Our expectations were raised already by the Piano Trio C Major of J. Haydn performed at the beginning of the concert – fresh, healthily humorous and unpretentiously virtuoso. E.G.: Such an ensemble is like a new theatre company formed according to some mysterious laws of nature.
