Jazz and improvisation greats Petras Vyšniauskas (saxophones) and Arkadijus Gotesmanas (percussion), together with actor Ignas Ciplijauskas, will perform The Magic of Music and Poetry based on the poems by Antanas Kalanavičius

"I discovered myself as a reader quite early - in my third year. Since then, reading poetry in public has been the most enjoyable and responsible professional challenge for me. The power of Antanas Kalanavičius's poetry, which came to me this autumn, has left me in no doubt that I have to share it." - says Ignas Ciplijauskas, actor

"Antanas Kalanavičius, in my opinion, is one of the most significant poets not only in Lithuania, but also abroad...The life and work of Antanas Kalanavičius form an indissoluble whole...He is special in his original use of Lithuanian syntax, according to the principle of the European avant-garde, which emphasised the importance of the syntactic structure of the individual words and the sentences."
Jan Peter Locher, Swiss literary scholar

"This poet does not succumb to the irresponsible games of civilization; he is not a destroyer but a builder; not a supporter of chaos but a supporter of harmony; not a bringer of darkness but a bringer of light."
Algirdas Pakeliūnas, artist
