The concert will feature works of world-renowned composers Ē. Ešenvalds, R. Strauss, G. Faure, B. Britten and others, as well as Lithuanian composers D. Zakaras and G. Svilainis. This time everyone will be united by the sacred language of music – the program “Waiting for Easter” is specially adapted for the Lenten period (liet. Gavėnia). Listeners will also hear the ever-enchanting “Ave Maria”.
The state ensemble “Lietuva” invites everyone to wait for St. Easter together, also reminds that Lent is a time of hope, self-reflection and spiritual concentration.
