Where has the time flown?

Not much time remains until we’ll see each other at the IX Lithuanian Song Festival, but it’s filled with meetings, rehearsals, finalizing of plans…with anticipating that everything will finally come together and become a wonderful celebration.

I know that sometimes all of this preparation seems overwhelming, but, at those “sometime moments,” take comfort in remembering that we’re working together to create a Festival of wonderful song, music and joy. And please remember that all of you - choir directors, singers and representatives - are indispensable to the success of our great adventure. read more...

After a full morning at Lithuanian Saturday School, three Toronto-based children‘s choirs assembled in the Resurrection Parish Hall on Saturday, February 26th, 2010 and spent the afternoon rehearsing their Song Festival repertoire. read more…

The Song Festival Concert will advance the Festival’s theme through the concept of the cycle of life. You will  enjoy a fusion of Lithuanian culture, traditions, folk and popular songs from both Lithuania and abroad. Our songs, including new songs commissioned especially for this Festival and composed in both North America and Lithuania, will be the link between the visual and the spoken components of the program.

Having undertaken the responsibility of organizing the Song Festival, we never imagined that so many people would volunteer to assist our efforts. Currently, there are about 100 of you, of all ages, generations, born both in Lithuania and here, and from all walks of life: professionals in their own right, successful business entrepreneurs, community leaders, musicians, composers, choir leaders – all of whom are contributing from their hearts and souls to create a Festival that will be a shining star in our Canadian Lithuanian undertakings. A heartfelt thank you to everyone! read more…
