SOUND OF MUSIC!
Summer in Vilnius means music of all kinds and categories…
MUSIC OVER THE OLD TOWN
Darius Rutkys (44), a former guitar player in a rock band, and pianist Justas Šervenikas (22) are
organising a brand new new music festival that will take place here in the courtyard restaurant
Boom-Boom Terasa (Vilnius Street 41), from the 19th of June to the 24th of July.
Summer in Vilnius means music of all kinds and categories. If you walk through the Old Town one evening this summer you can be sure to hear jazz, rock, folk or classical music pouring out of the many courtyards, restaurants and concert venues.
We have below reproduced the programmes of three of the festivals that will take place throughout most of the summer - the first a brand new festival, while the other two have been going strong here since the 1990s.
At the bottom of the page there is also a YouTube reference to a very touching song from the times when Vilnius Old Town was dominated by Litvaks and their distinctive music and songs in Yiddish language. Truly worthwhile listening to…
