Founded in 1987, Vilnius Jazz is the oldest annual jazz festival held in Vilnius. It is an exceptional event in Lithuania, providing a broad perspective on contemporary trends in jazz from all over the world. Over the years Vilnius Jazz has earned a reputation of a radical avant-garde festival oriented towards novelty and limit-stretching creativity. The stylistic boundaries of jazz and free improvised music are often crossed and expanded here by offering joint projects with musicians from the academic, ethnic, rock and industrial music backgrounds.

The International Vilnius Jazz Festival is renowned for its creative and ambitious programmes featuring some of the biggest names on the international jazz scene alongside the best of Lithuanian talent. Many international projects have been organised through close collaboration with international cultural institutions and foundations, such as Goethe Institut, British Council, Swedish Institute, Pro Helvetia, US Arts International and Japan Foundation.

Attracting an audience of around 7000 each year, Vilnius Jazz has played a formative role for several generations of jazz fans. The Festival usually offers a 3-4 day programme of concerts, workshops and jam sessions featuring up to 20 different groups.

Part of the CHAMBER MUSIC SERIES

The great creations of Bach have triggered the imagination of various composers through many centuries. Dedicated to the Millennium of Lithuania’s Name and creative anniversaries of both collectives this concert features Bach’s Magnificat and a colourful bouquet of compositions by Lithuanian composers. Nature, as the source of inspiration, and love for art determined the picturesqueness of Jurgis Juozapaitis’ Šventaragis’ Frescoes. Osvaldas Balakauskas found inspiration for his new composition in a charming French courante. Algirdas Martinaitis’ cantata Cantus ad futurum (1982) for choir and baroque ensemble combines minimalist elements of sutartinė, pseudo-baroque and rock, while cantata’s text, lamenting over the extinction of rare species of birds, reflects on ecology, culture and existence.
