| | Filed Under Lithuania
The national song and dance celebration tradition has lasted for a hundred years and grew up into the most significant and largest cultural event in Lithuania. It exalts man’s creative self-expression, vitality of the national culture, and promotes artistic activity by periodically gathering amateur artistic groups of different genres and culture professionals to enormous festivals that evoke enthusiastic society’s response.
Lithuanian Song Celebration is an overall national cultural phenomenon spiritually
equal to ancient Greek Olympic Games.
Lithuanian Song Celebration exalts the creative self-expression of the human being, creative potency of artists, vitality of national culture, love to the native land and the solidarity.
The base of the succession for the tradition of the Lithuanian Song Celebration is the creative work activity of the amateur artistic groups and sustained roots of local and regional song celebrations.
The participation at the Song Celebration is prescriptive by the voluntary and the ability to learn and perform the provided repertoire perfectly.
Lithuanian Song Celebrations of adults and school students run-up singly every four years.
On the 7th of November 2003 UNESCO proclaimed the tradicion of the Song and Dance Celabration in Lithuania Latvia and Estonia as Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
