In 2022, he was voted the best instrumentalist of the competition. This year, he won the title again and was also recognised as the best composer of the original composition. His Metaphysics will now be put to the festival audience’s test.

He is currently pursuing his Bachelor’s studies at the LAMT, where he studies with Liudas Mockūnas. A couple of years ago in Denmark, Norkus took part in the international project Open Jazz Jam Summer Camp, and this year he has toured Denmark and Germany with Kenneth Dahl Knudsen’s Elastic Ensemble. Dominykas also tried his luck as a composer in the Petrichor International Music Competition, where he reached the semi-finals. |
