The Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra and Maestro Gintaras Rinkevičius are giving an unusual concert for the closing of the 20th jubilee season. Together with the best Lithuanian singers and choirs the orchestra will give a premiere of an impressive composition, Leonard Bernstein’s Mass. This monumental composition commissioned by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was first performed at the opening of the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington. Noted for its different treatment of the Mass genre and its pronounced theatricality, it takes a huge team of performers. The performance at the Congress Palace promises to be an extraordinary event.

The current edition of the Festival, slated for May 13th–29th, is dedicated to Vilnius – European Capital of Culture 2009. Another, important focus of the festival is the paradigm of classical music – the diversity of its ideals, shapes, logic and intuition – mastered by the prominent figures in this area today who leave a distinct trace of their personality in every interpretation of classical heritage. Conductor Valery Gergiev and opera diva Violeta Urmana can be named as some of the central figures at this year’s festival. Read more
