On Thursday, 24 October at 7 pm at St Catherine's Church (Vilniaus g. 30, Vilnius)
On Thursday, 24 October at St Catherine's Church, the Vilnius Municipality's St. The Christopher Chamber Orchestra (Artistic Director and Conductor - Modestas Barkauskas) is organising an exceptional concert of instrumental and vocal music dedicated to the famous composer Feliks Bajoras, who is celebrating his 90th birthday this year.
The work of this colourful and, perhaps, the most theatrical of Lithuanian composers is not to be missed. "It is more important to be yourself than to be understood". Feliksas Bajoras is a truly exceptional and unpredictable figure in Lithuanian music.In the 1970s, Feliksas Bajoras, who exploded like a revolution, stirred up the conservative composers, opening up theatrical possibilities of music.
The Saint Christopher Chamber Orchestra (Artistic Director and Chief Conductor Modestas Barkauskas) is one of the most prominent chamber orchestras in Lithuania. Its repertoire ranges from baroque to unexpected musical experiments and much more. The orchestra organises the annual St. Christopher International Composers' Oconcourses, and in 2024 it presented Vilnius Spring Festival, a new and exclusive music festival for Vilnius residents. It is one of the most versatile and playful orchestras in Lithuania, presenting a wide variety of musical programmes, and is also a welcome guest in the best concert halls in Lithuania and Europe.
