General Information
Subtilu-Z is a chamber ensemble from Vilnius. It consists of four unique members and is distinguished by its peculiar music style and unconventional performances. The ensemble was the first one to try an unusual combination – two accordions (Povilas Velikis, Dmitrijs Mihailovs), percussion (Vytautas Švažas) and Lithuanian national woodwind instrument tenor birbynė (reedpipe).
Mission and Objectives

Whether it be a jazz standard, Argentine tango or painfully familiar classics - since Subtilu-Z arrange their music themselves, they always manage to surprise their audience with unconventional presentations and sounds. Another surprise factor is a crossover musical style in which members of Subtilu-Z feel like fish in the water. At first glance hardly compatible, but masterful and tasteful fusion of jazz, ethnic melodies and academic music is one of the trademarks of Subtilu-Z ensemble.
Each concert of Subtilu-Z is a synonym for excellent music, good mood and impeccable style.
