Lithuanian violist Augusta Romaskeviciute is a passionate orchestra and chamber musician who has performed in numerous concert venues in Europe, USA and Brasil. She is a member of the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker, Germany.

Augusta enjoys artistic freedom creating her own chamber music programs: “Viola, instrument with a human voice”, “From Kaunas to Odessa”, “Music is a women”, “Small talks”. Collaboration with lithuanian composers, among them G. Kuprevicius, Ž. Martinaityte, R. Vitkauskaite , has given her a chance to perform premiers of their viola compositions internationaly.
She is the founder of the social-musical initiative “Music for all” in her home country that enables access to live classical music performances and supports young artists. The project is funded by Rotary Club Vilnius.

Born in Vilnius, Lithuania, Augusta’s first viola teacher was Petras Radzevičius. She continued her musical path in Germany, where she studied with Hartmut Rohde at the University of Arts Berlin, with Tatjana Masurenko in Music and Theather Academy Leipzig, and her postgraduate diploma she received in the class of Wolfram Christ, solo viola of Berliner Philharmoniker.
