River’s concert and Piano meets Beatbox battle
Thu, 10 Sep 2026 · Vilnius, Lithuania
For one night only, the DOWNTOWN PIANO LAB stage will bring together world-class beatboxing, live improvisation, and high-energy musical battles.
The highlight of the evening will be an exclusive live performance by RIVER.
French-Colombian artist Enzo Fumex, known as RIVER, is one of the most exciting names in contemporary beatboxing. After becoming the French Beatbox Champion in 2018, he went on to triumph at the prestigious Grand Beatbox Battle, establishing himself as one of the most recognisable performers of the new generation.
Today, RIVER performs around the world — from clubs in Tokyo and New York to Colombia, major European stages, and the legendary Glastonbury Festival.
But his greatest strength is not his titles. It is his ability to transform the human voice into an entire musical universe.
BEATBOX MEETS PIANO BATTLE
Before RIVER takes the stage, the audience will experience a beatbox battle format never before seen in Lithuania.
During the qualification round, some of Lithuania’s best beatboxers will each perform a three-minute solo showcase — just the artist and the microphone.
An international, world-class judging panel will evaluate the competitors based on musicality, technique, originality, stage presence, and other criteria.
The four strongest performers will advance to the battle stage and face each other head-to-head.
Each battle will consist of two 90-second rounds, with every beatboxer accompanied live by piano virtuoso Vytautas Straižys.
The result is an unpredictable musical dialogue between voice and piano, where every rhythm, melody, and improvisation is created live in the moment.
After each battle, the judges will immediately announce their decision.
The audience will experience:
Two semifinals
A third-place battle
The Grand Final
The winner will receive a cash prize as well as a private piano or vocal lesson with Vytautas Straižys.
