Zum Programm

When music from the Baltic reached the concert halls of western Europe in the 1980s, the music world sat up and took note. Since then, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have become natural neighbours. But as before, the sound of this music is unique. The LENsemble stands for Lithuanian Ensemble Network and is devoted to the dissemination and development of new music in the Baltic region. The founder and guiding spirit is Vykintas Baltakas who presents his own work and works by other composer colleagues in this concert.
