New Year's Eve with Ryuichi Sakamoto

The music of Ryuichi Sakamoto, which resonated in St. Catherine's Church this spring, filled the halls and left a lasting harmony of silence and light in the hearts of the listeners. Now, at the end of the year, this special program returns in an even more sensitive, even more intimate space.

On December 31st, at 3:00 PM, only 50 lucky people will have the opportunity to experience 45 minutes of pure musical radiance in the cozy hall of the "New Opera Studio," in the very heart of Vilnius Old Town. This will be an evening when the world slows down for a moment, and Ryuichi Sakamoto's piano music will become a gentle send-off for the year - like a final warm sigh before a new beginning.

Pianist Darius Mažintas, whose sensitive and transparent interpretations filled the largest church in Vilnius in the spring, will play this time as if every note were meant only for you. In the cozy hall, from very close up, R. Sakamoto's works will unfold even more fragiley, even more warmly - like a musical lantern flame, accompanying you into the peace of the new year.

This is not a concert.

This is a quiet, sensitive moment for yourself.

The flame of the year-end candle, which you will carry into 2027.

On December 31st - R. Sakamoto's music, Darius Mažintas, and just 50 seats, reserved for those who want to see the year off calmly, meaningfully, and surrounded by the beauty of music.
