How does Lithuania sound? The Kaunas State Philharmonic invites listeners to a concert that could unreservedly mark any date important to Lithuania and its people.

The most prominent Lithuanian ensembles and soloists will perform a true retrospective of Lithuanian music, featuring works created by Lithuanian composers or closely associated with Lithuania. You will be able to hear both music born in past centuries and opuses created in the present day, breathing with Lithuanian identity and love for our Homeland. So let Lithuania sound!

Before the concert, there will be a talk-meeting with musicologist Dr. Aušra Strazdaitė-Ziberkienė, who will introduce listeners to the development and characteristics of Lithuanian music. The meeting will take place at 5:50 PM in the Kaunas State Philharmonic orchestra room (5th floor), duration – 30 minutes. Admission to the meeting is with concert tickets only. The number of seats is limited; registration is required by filling out the registration form.

Doors open at 5:30 PM. We deeply regret that the event is not accessible to visitors with mobility impairments or those who have difficulty moving (unable to climb stairs).
