In 2003, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) proclaimed the traditional Song and Dance Festivals of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania as masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. It is therefore a privilege for the Lithuanian-Canadian community of Toronto to host the 9th Lithuanian Song Festival outside of Lithuania, in Toronto/Mississauga during this summer’s July long-weekend (July 2-4th) and to invite everyone to attend this rare event. read more…

The 9th Lithuanian Song Festival will be held this summer in Toronto, Ontario, during the July 1-4 weekend. It will draw nearly 1,000 singers from across North America, as well as guest choirs and singers from Lithuania and other countries in Europe, Australia, etc. What will make this a memorable event, in addition to the singing, will be the visual images that will be created by the Festival’s Chief Set Designer – Jurgis Sederavičius and his assistants – his twin daughters Audra and Ilyssa Sederavičius. Two generations in the Sederavičius family will express their creative talents and provide the visual memories of the 9th Lithuanian Song Festival. Let us “meet” Ilyssa and Audra as they share their thoughts about engaging in this important cultural venture. read more…
