From all over the world, from the wide world
Music in the colours of the world!
This concert will be a sparkling stained-glass window of songs from all corners of Europe, in a wide range of languages. Every listener will find something that speaks to their heart. Even if you are not deeply interested in the genre of sung poetry, this very interesting, colourful and acclaimed company of Lithuanian and foreign bards is definitely worth hearing. All the performances are very distinctive and different, but they are united by what is at the heart of the bardic identity - sincerity and a message that goes straight to the listener's heart, no matter in which language it was sung.
About the performers:
