Marija Nemanytė was born in 1980 in Vilnius. She studied at the M. K. Čiurlionis Art Gymnasium (with A. Kacaitė and Prof. J. Urba) and graduated from the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (Prof. Raimundas Katilius, Rasa Vosyliūtė). She continued her postgraduate studies at the Royal College of Music, London, with Prof. N. Boyarsky (Postgraduate Diploma in Performance, 2003). In 2003-2005 she studied at the CNR Conservatoire in Versailles (France) with Prof. I. Voloshin (3ème Cycle Spec.).

M. Nemanytė is a laureate of two national competitions and she won the 3rd prize at the Jascha Heifetz International Violin Competition. She has participated in international master classes held by F. Andrievsky, B. Garlitsky, G. Kremer and G. Zhislin. In summer 2003 the violinist participated in the Kopelman Quartet international master classes.

Since 2001 Marija Nemanytė has been a member of the violin quartet that was formed in homage to Prof. R. Katilius. This quartet has successfully performed in the Baltic States and Scandinavia as well as in Austria, Yugoslavia, England and Germany.
In 2002 the violinist was invited to the international chamber music festival Chamber Music Connects the World in Krönberg (Germany) where she performed together with B. Pergamenschikow, G. Kremer and Guarneri Quartet.

Marija Nemanytė has played solo many times with Kremerata Baltica, Lithuanian Chamber and National Symphony Orchestras.
Since 1997 the violinist has been a member of the orchestra formed by G. Kremer – Kremerata Baltica. She has been constantly participating in the festival Kremerata Musica and performing chamber music. Together with G. Kremer she performed A. Schnittke’s Concertto grosso No.3 during various festivals and in various concert halls, for instance, Schubertiade Schwarzenberg, Musicfestspiele Saar, Vilnius Festival, Santory Hall (Tokyo), Chicago Symphony Hall, etc. Since 2004, together with other members of Kremerata Baltica, Džeraldas Bidva, Ula Ulijona Žebriūnaitė and Giedrė Dirvanauskaitė, she has been performing as the Kremeratini String Quartet. The newly formed collective has successfully appeared in festivals Sigulda (Latvia), Lockenhaus (Austria), Kuchmo (Finland) and Les Museiques (Switzerland).
M. Nemanytė has performed in various chamber music projects together with V. Mendelsohn, B. Garlitsky, M. Brunello, Y. Bashmet, G. Kremer, N. Znaider and others.

The violinist has been constantly giving recitals in Lithuania and participating in chamber music concerts together with Lithuanian musicians: Daumantas Kirilauskas, R. Lenčiauskaitė, Mindaugas Bačkus and the Kremeratini String Quartet.

The end of the evening throws us again from 2003 back to 1985–1988. The chain of musical opuses ends with Bachvariationen I, which has become a real gem of the evening due to the impressive interpretation by Raimundas Katilius Violin Quartet (Džeraldas Bidva, Rasa Vosyliūtė, Rūta Lipinaitytė, Marija Nemanytė). To forestall the impression, Mindaugas Urbaitis has not been wrong in saying that violinists from Kremerata have prepared the opus, which they themselves discovered, excellently. One could agree with his words that new performers can change an old opus fundamentally. The newly discovered old is much more effective, if the performers also astound with their skill.

June 17. The programme includes A. Vivaldi’s Concerto for violin and Orchestra A Major, K. Penderecki’s Sinfonietta per archi (1991), A. Schnittke’s Concerto Grosso for Two Violins and Chamber Orchestra (1985) and F. Schubert’s Quartet G Major, op. posth. 161 (V. Kissin’s adaptation for orchestra). Concerto Grosso is a controversial, resigning confession of our contemporary. With unpredictable twists of thought, complicated crossroads of meanings, Schnittke is always a challenge to the listener. And even a greater challenge to the performer. Marija Nemanytė performing solo next to G. Kremer does not remain overshadowed by him. The most complex opus of the evening becomes its axis.

M. Nemanytė deserves a special praise for attempting to interpret the opuses she performed in a different style. It is obvious that thanks to her serious approach to her profession she has perfectly adapted to other talented members of the orchestra Kremerata Baltica. E. Ysaye’s Sonata for Violin solo performed very well and intensively was the most convincing.

Marija Nemanytė performed the second violin part together with G. Kremer impressively; her strong will, swing and intellect matched the maestro’s.
