The ensemble is highly appreciated and often performs abroad, winning many international competitions. Acting as a singing school, Dagilėlis makes a significant contribution to education in Lithuania and to the education of boys and young people.
The choir prepared a lively festive programme for the Vilnius public. A special highlight of the programme was the choir's performance of the famous "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", which has become a model. The singers expertly imitate the sounds of natural phenomena and jungle inhabitants, and embellish it with tasteful choreography. On YouTube alone, this performance by Dagilėlis has been viewed almost 7 million times.
