Additional

An ADDITIONAL concert is announced at 5 PM!

As we welcome the New Year, the VDU Chamber Orchestra invites you to celebrate together!

In the now-traditional concert at the VDU Grand Hall, the festive concert "In the Rhythm of a Viennese Waltz" will be performed: pearls of works by Johann Strauss, Franz Lehár, and Emmerich Kálmán – waltzes, arias, duets, and orchestral numbers. These composers are undoubtedly titled the most famous creators of the new Viennese operetta, and with their music performed by the charismatic "Balsai" and the VDU Chamber Orchestra, led by maestro Vytautas Lukočius, no one remains indifferent. Pulsing with the rhythm of the waltz and good spirits, the concert will invite you to celebrate and welcome the New Year joyfully and carefree. The cozy concert will be full of good humor – featuring arias and duets from J. Strauss's operettas "Vienna Blood", "The Gypsy Baron", "The Merry War", I. Kálmán's "Violet of Montmartre", "The Csárdás Princess", "Mister X", F. Lehár's "The Merry Widow", "Giuditta", and polkas and marches performed by the VDU Chamber Orchestra.

Traditionally, the performers will invite you to bid farewell to the old year and "Raise a glass of joy" from Giuseppe Verdi's opera "La Traviata".

Performers: VDU Chamber Orchestra Chief Conductor Vytautas Lukočius Project "Balsai": Ieva Barbora Juozapaitytė-Varnienė (soprano) Gabrielė Lileikaitė-Pavilionė (mezzo-soprano) Tomas Pavilionis (tenor) Andrejus Apšega (baritone)
