Congratulations to Professor Mūza Rubackytė on Her 70th Jubilee!
The Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre warmly congratulates Professor of the Piano and Organ Department, internationally acclaimed pianist Mūza Rubackytė, on the occasion of her 70th birthday.
Mūza Rubackytė is one of the most prominent figures in Lithuanian cultural life. Her exceptional artistic talent, intellect, and unwavering dedication to music have earned her worldwide recognition. Her musical journey began in Vilnius, where she graduated from the then Lithuanian State Conservatory (now LMTA) and later continued her studies at the Moscow P. Tchaikovsky Conservatory. Already at the age of nine, she performed with an orchestra, and her victories in prestigious international competitions – including the International P. Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, the F. Liszt Competition in Budapest, and the Grand Prix at the Marguerite Long Competition in Paris – opened the doors to the world’s great concert halls.
Mūza Rubackytė has performed in some of the most renowned venues – Vienna’s Musikverein, Leipzig’s Gewandhaus, Paris’s Salle Gaveau, Tokyo’s Opera City – and collaborated with leading orchestras such as Leipzig Radio, BBC Scotland, and Orchestre de Paris, as well as with many distinguished conductors. Her interpretations of the works of F. Liszt, C. Franck, M. K. Čiurlionis, and contemporary composers are especially praised.
Professor Rubackytė is also an active and inspiring educator. At LMTA, she teaches young pianists, sharing not only her professional excellence but also a profound musical culture and international perspective. She serves as a jury member for international competitions, organizes music festivals, and is President of the International Franz Liszt Society.
Mūza Rubackytė’s artistic contributions have been recognized with high honors from the governments of Lithuania and Hungary. These include the Lithuanian Government and National Culture & Arts Awards, the Grand Cross of the Order for Merits to Lithuania, Hungary’s Pro Hungarica award from the Ministry of Culture, and the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Merit of Hungary.
We sincerely congratulate the esteemed Professor on this remarkable anniversary and wish her boundless creative energy, continued inspiration, and joy in sharing her extraordinary talent with the world and with the next generation of Lithuanian musicians.
Happy Birthday, Maestra!
