Six months remain until we’ll see each other at the IX Lithuanian Song Festival: six months of meetings, rehearsals, finalizing of plans…of 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...

Not only did you miss hearing the most exciting repetoire, but also the food – crepes with cheese, marinated chicken stuffed with apricots, kugelis, cepelinai and even šakotis! As Jurgita from St. Paul said: “If we had had some napoleon torte, this truly would have been heaven on earth!“ Allow me to share a few highlights from this year‘s seminar. read more…
