Celebrated Lithuanian composer Anatolijus Šenderovas has passed away - aged 74.

A graduate of the Lithuanian State Conservatory, Tel Aviv Rubin Music Academy and the St Petersburg Rimsky-Kosavkov Conservatory, he will be remembered as one of the most accomplished Lithuanian composers of all time.

His major works included 3 symphonies and 2 cello concertos - and his 2001 ‘Cantus' for Solo Violin - written in memory of luminary violin virtuoso Jascha Heifetz.

Throughout his lifetime he was honored with an Order of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Gediminas Cross, the Lithuanian National Prize - and the World Intellectual Property Organization's prestigious composer’s accolade.

Our condolences are with Mr Šenderovas' family, friends, colleagues and students.
