Šernius has previously performed in Portugal, Finland, Iceland, Sweden, Germany and Great Britain, and as a soloist with ERSO and EMTA symphony orchestras.

In the concert “Linnunrata” (“The Milky Way” in English) you will hear, among other things, Stasys Vainiūnas’sLittle Insect Suite Op. 7″, Claude Debussy’s “La Cathédrale engloutie”, Pärt Uusberg’s “Soul Bird Road I”, Fryderyk Chopin’s “Schertso no. 2 in B minor op. 31” and Franz Liszt’s “Sonata in B minor S 178”.
