Emilija has been playing the kanklės for 14 years and has been awarded the title of the National Laureate of Lithuania twice. The kanklės is the Lithuanian National instrument, which remains relatively unknown to many. However, Emilija is committed to present this unusual instrument to new audiences in order to educate more people about the kanklės and promote the diversity of Lithuanian culture. Emilija has now become a performer in the city of London. Her performances are characterized by skillful integration of the traditional folk instrument, the kanklės, into diverse genres, including classical, pop, and folk music.
