Musicologist & Cultural Project Manager; Virtual Choir Researcher.
I research digital musicking, virtual choirs, and collective vocal practices that foster empathy, connection, and community. Through cultural project management and choral initiatives, I work on strengthening cultural communication, digital participation, and cross-cultural understanding between Lithuania, Japan, and wider international communities.

I am a Lithuanian musicologist, cultural project manager, and virtual choir researcher focusing on digital musicking, collective singing, and community-based music practices. I have created and produced several national virtual choir projects (2016, 2018, 2020) and coordinated international cultural initiatives, including the 2022 Japan tour of the Vilnius Municipal Choir “Jauna Muzika” in partnership with the Min-On Concert Association. My academic work explores virtual choirs, choral communication, and digital visual culture, with publications in Lietuvos muzikologija and Ars et praxis. I am a member of the Lithuanian Musicologists’ Union and the Lithuanian Choral Union. I am interested in how voice, technology, and collective participation support empathy, cultural communication, and peace-oriented collaboration.
