VILNIUS FESTIVAL 1998
2nd festival
29 May – 30 June, 1998

Vilnius is again becoming the musical center of Europe.

The best Lithuanian and foreign ensembles and performers are gathering in Vilnius in June to proclaim a new tradition.

In addition to works by Bach, Beethoven and Verdi, a composition by a Lithuanian composer Algirdas Martinaitis will be premiered; works by an Argentinean composer Ástor Piazzolla and Englishman Edward Elgar will also be performed. Musicians from various countries will join us.

Vilnius Festival will try to embrace the entire world and music will unite us all.
