Let the chronicle of brilliant work sound 2016-02-04
V. Gerulaitis' book Virgilijus Noreika, "And wherever I'd go..." (Virgilijus Noreika: „Ir kur benueičiau...“ 2015, Vilnius: Tyto alba) appeared last year, in 2015, but the silence in the public space (without thinking that several messages and V. Noreika’s biography summaries - as if repeating the text of the book, which are neither reviews, nor critical articles - are not the needed, the right and enough resonance) simply pushes to take this non-traditional monograph and speak about this work that is very important not only to Lithuanian music but also to the whole culture.
When Kaunas is embraced by the sounds of musicals 2015-03-23
Giedrius Kuprevičius, who celebrated his birthday jubilee last year, crowns the date with festival of musicals - "Singing Theatre" that will take place on the 24th to 26th of March. I talked to G. Kuprevičius about his moods before the festival, why some of the performances are brought to Kaunas only now and what place does the musical occupy in the composers creative life.
Orchestra of impressions 2014-11-27
The author resolved to watch almost the entire programme of the festival Gaida this year and felt its festive solemnity.

The international media art and music festival “Centre” invited to visit several spaces in the centre of Kaunas on April 8-14. The festival is organised since 2002, and the need for the format of the festival appeared when the synthesis of different art disciplines, science and medias became an actual and separate form of cultural communication.
PLEASURES OF LISTENING IN THE FESTIVAL JAUNA MUZIKA OF THIS YEAR 2013-04-17
The annual festival Jauna Muzika dedicated to contemporary music took place in Vilnius on April 2–7. From the very beginning of its existence, when the festival had a subheading “e-music”, its biggest part was dedicated to electronic music. This tendency remains until now with some exceptions. The subheading was changed to the more abstract “sound gallery” several years ago. Jauna Muzika also presents a wide spectrum of contemporary academic music – it is very natural for an event organised by the Composers’ Union.
ROCK PIONEERS RETURN 2013-02-11
The book “Lithuanian Rock Pioneers” written by the leader of the eclectic rock band Skylė Rokas Radzevičius is about the music style that has always been identified with freedom, challenge, creative searches and that can be called “conscience of the awakening humanity”.
