Lithuanian national days and city festivals
Programmes for Lithuanian national days and city festivals
Looking for a programme for 16 February (Day of Restoration of the State), 11 March (Day of Restoration of Independence) or 6 July (Statehood Day)? Teatras ir Muzika offers three programmes that adapt to national days and city festivals – from a theatrical concert to modern folk and atmospheric ethno-electronica.
National days and city festivals deserve a programme that speaks about Lithuania – its history, identity and living culture. All three Teatras ir Muzika programmes adapt to occasions like these: the theatrical concert Lithuanian Myths and Legends suits national day commemorations and patriotic occasions, Electro Folk LT is a fit for city celebrations and open-air festivals, and MurmurWood works for formal and cultural evenings.
Each programme can be adapted for an indoor hall or an open-air stage, and – depending on the context of your event – for international guests too, with a short introduction in English. The same programmes travel to Lithuanian national day celebrations organised by embassies and communities abroad. Below you will find which programme best suits a particular occasion – 16 February (Vasario 16-oji), 11 March (Kovo 11-oji), 6 July (Liepos 6-oji), or a city celebration or festival.
- The right programme for every occasion: Lithuanian Myths and Legends (theatrical concert), Electro Folk LT (modern folk) and MurmurWood (ethno-electronica).
- Professional performers for city celebrations, festivals and national holiday programmes.
- Adaptable to indoor and open-air stages – from a ceremonial commemoration to an open-air festival.
- Clear Lithuanian content and identity, suited to patriotic and high-profile occasions.
- A short introduction in English – programmes can be adapted for international guests too.
- Clear technical requirements and a flexible format – convenient for the organiser and the municipality.
Which programme for which occasion
16 February – Day of Restoration of the State (Vasario 16-oji)
For 16 February, the theatrical concert Lithuanian Myths and Legends is the strongest fit. Lithuanian mythology, live storytelling and original music create a meaningful, ceremonial atmosphere in the hall – a format for when a national day calls for substance, not just sound. We adapt the programme to the stage of a culture centre, theatre or municipal event.
11 March – Day of Restoration of Independence (Kovo 11-oji)
For a ceremonial 11 March evening, commemoration or reception, we suggest MurmurWood – atmospheric Lithuanian ethno-electronica that carries national identity in a subtle, contemporary way. This programme suits formal and cultural evenings, while the theatrical concert Lithuanian Myths and Legends adapts well to a main Independence Day concert.
6 July – Statehood Day and Day of the National Anthem (Liepos 6-oji)
For an open-air 6 July event, we suggest Electro Folk LT – Lithuanian folk songs reworked with the rhythms of electronic music. This energetic, dance-friendly programme is suited to a summer open-air stage and complements city and community celebrations on the Day of the National Anthem. For a more ceremonial evening, the theatrical concert Lithuanian Myths and Legends is also a fitting choice.
City celebrations and festivals
For a city celebration or festival, Electro Folk LT is the best fit – an energetic, recognisably Lithuanian, dance-friendly programme for both outdoor and indoor stages. For a high-profile city evening or cultural programme, the atmospheric MurmurWood works beautifully, and for those seeking a theatrical experience, Lithuanian Myths and Legends is ideal. All the programmes are adaptable to community celebrations and festival stages.
