Presentation of the book "Half a Century with the Orchestra"

On Friday, November 20, 2026, at 4:00 PM, the National M. K. Čiurlionis Art Museum (V. Putvinskio St. 55, Kaunas) invites you to the presentation of the book "Half a Century with the Orchestra," dedicated to commemorating the 90th birthday of LNSO conductor Juozas Domarkas. The event will be attended by the book's compiler – the conductor's student, long-time LNSO violist, and PhD professor Remigijus Vitkauskas. The event will be moderated by Valerija Segalovičienė. If his health permits, maestro Juozas Domarkas will also attend the presentation. The book "Half a Century with the Orchestra" reveals the long-standing creative path of conductor Juozas Domarkas and his close connection with the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra. Spanning more than five decades, the narrative reflects not only the maestro's professional activities but also significant changes in Lithuanian musical life. The publication presents the most important stages of J. Domarkas's career, his concert activities, the orchestra's repertoire, and his efforts to nurture the traditions of Lithuanian orchestral music. Personal memories, testimonies from colleagues, and historical context provide a glimpse into the maestro's creative personality, his working principles, and the mark he has left on Lithuanian musical culture. The event is free of charge.

The event is public and may be filmed and photographed. By attending the event, you agree to be visible in event photos and videos and are informed that these photos and videos may be published publicly.
