Nijolė is a pianist who "peels out" the most complex scores, enchanting her own manner of playing, elegance, skillfully extracting a whole palette of the most wonderful sound colors from the piano, able to present an individual interpretation every time, not departing from the soloist's proposal and as if merging into one whole. So it is no coincidence that the performer is one of the most sought-after concertmasters, who collaborates with famous Lithuanian singers and instrumentalists, among whom are constant stage partners opera soloists Joana Gedmintaitė, Julija Stupnianek, Agnė Stančikaitė, Aistė Pilibavičiūtė, flutist Viktorija Zabrodaitė, violinist Irma Belickaitė.
