The group was formed a year ago, bringing together musicians who met while studying at the Syddansk Musikkonservatorium in Odense, Denmark. They call their creative space Freesesyjka – a realm of artistic freedom without strict rules, where every sound emerges from spontaneous emotion and the shared mood of the moment. Each of their improvised sessions is a one-of-a-kind experience.

In the final of the competition, the group will perform an original composition titled Freesesyjka Live 1 by Antanas Vidra and Józef Biegański.

Antanas Vidra, pianist and trumpeter, began expressing himself as an improviser and composer while still studying at the Vilnius Conservatory.

Currently, he is continuing his studies at the Syddansk Musikkonservatorium in Odense and performs in various ensembles with fellow students.
