Concert of legendary Youth Theatre actors

On November 8, 2026, at 6:00 PM, the legendary voices of actors will resonate at St. Catherine's Church in Vilnius. Kristina Kazlauskaitė, Vidas Petkevičius, Violeta Podolskaitė, Vladas Bagdonas, Saulius Sipaitis, Vytautas Taukinaitis, Regina Kazlauskaitė, Giedrius Arbačiauskas, and soprano Eglė Ignatavičienė will perform and sing on stage. The performers will be accompanied by a rhythm section, featuring Povilas's daughter Živilė Keblikaitė (piano), multi-instrumentalist Rolandas Butkevičius, Gintaras Baraniūnas (bass guitar), and Kamilė Griušytė (drums).

The hostess and author of the idea for the evening is Kristina Kazlauskaitė, along with actor Giedrius Arbačiauskas.

The program will feature original songs by Povilas Keblikas; the actors will also recall folk songs once performed and arranged by Povilas, as well as pieces that were played in the "Home Music Group," led by Povilas Keblikas. In 2013, the long-time concertmaster and head of the music department of the State Youth Theatre, Povilas Keblikas, passed away, but he left behind a rich musical legacy. In 2025, "Bardai LT" released a three-album collection titled "From the Musical World of Povilas Keblikas."

P. Keblikas dedicated more than 50 years to the State Youth Theatre and the music played there. No performance requiring even the smallest musical part could do without him. He worked quietly, meticulously, responsibly, and with extraordinary dedication. Guitar, accordion, oboe – with the exception of the violin, the late musician had mastered almost every musical instrument. P. Keblikas simultaneously fulfilled the roles of composer, arranger, conductor, and singer. It was thanks to him that the Youth Theatre became famous as a singing theatre. For several decades, the "Home Music Group" and the acting group "Be grimo" operated here, delighting the Lithuanian public for a long time. Listeners will have the opportunity to hear songs from the "Home Music Group," reunited for one night only.

"Bardai LT," experts in good music, invite you to meet the theatre legends and spend a meaningful Saturday evening with the well-known original songs of maestro Povilas Keblikas and those that resonated in the plays. During the concert, it will be possible to purchase the three-CD set.
