Solo Concert by Lina Rastokaitė
Composed by Feliksas Zakrevskis
Lina Rastokaitė's solo concert "Music that has Changed Lithuania" invites you to travel around the country. In this sensual event, the audience will hear the well-known music that changed Lithuania in its time. The concert will feature works by Vytautas Kernagis, Hyperbola, songs from The Devil's Bride and other Lithuanian musicals, as well as songs based on poems by Algimantas Baltakis, Antanas Miškinis, Paulijus Širvis and contemporary composers. The music will be accompanied by lively stories about the lives of Lithuanian creators.
"We all grew up with these works, lived them, sang them countless times. They have changed not only us, but also Lithuania. I will tell the audience how it happened. And I will also tell them some funny, juicy stories from the lives of musicians and poets. You will find out what Širvys talked about with a stranger on a train, what creative sufferings Vytautas Kernagis experienced, what mysterious and unexplainable things happened during the construction of The Devil's Bride and where on Earth the paradise seen in the musical was filmed, as well as a lot of other interesting things," the singer says."
But the audience will not only be plunged into a lyrical, quiet nostalgia. There will also be some real musical shenanigans and jokes, dynamic and exciting. There will be a great variety of genres and emotions and a lot of colour.
