Rimvydė Muzikevičiūtė

Chamber Musician and Soliost Saxophonist

Lithuania

I came across Légère Signature reeds in 2014. They were brilliant: the sound was easy to control, register changes became smoother and articulation cleaner. I find them really suitable to perform baroque music that I enjoy playing a lot. With these reeds I gain more confidence in competitions and concerts because I know that wherever I go they will not change due to the weather conditions. I know I will not have any problems. Légère reeds let me feel stable. Since I started using the reeds they have allowed me to concentrate on my music and avoid the problems I had before.

Born in 1994 in Lithuania, Rimvydė Bernadeta Muzikevičiūtė graduated with top result (10/10) from the National M. K. Čiurlonis School of Art (saxophone class of Aleksandr Fedotovas).
