Music for Vilnius project

What does Vilnius sound like? It probably depends on where you are. Close your eyes and listen – it may be church bells, a rippling river, leaves rustling in the wind, laughter or the honking of car horns. Seven worldfamous composers will do just that: they’ll come to Vilnius, choose a place they like in the city, and create a 5-10-minute composition for it. The seven pieces will be performed for Vilnius in different spaces, but the compositions will not only be heard at the presentation concerts.

Modern technologies will help spread the sounds of Vilnius all over the world, and if you’re in Vilnius, you’ll be able to set out on a route to different places. These Music for Vilnius compositions are like short-term sculptures of the modern city.
