MUSIC ABOVE SNOWY VILNIUS

24 January, Thursday, 19:00, St. Catherine’s Church
On the 24th January, St. Christopher Chamber Orchestra invites to an exceptionally subtle birthday concert of Vilnius
City.
Imagine a picture – roofs of the majestic Vilnius covered in fluffy snowflakes, white smoke coming out of the chimneys, as if in a fairy tale frozen siluetes of spectacular Vilnius churches and music, clear as crystal in the background, enchanting with its perfection and simplicity of its beauty. It is a concert–impression, after attending it the music by one of the greatest genius of all times Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his father Leopold Mozart will remain in your hearts and minds for long.
There is a reason why the musicians-magicians of St. Christopher Chamber Orchestra and owner of the softest voice Gunta Gelgotė will perform the pieces by both Mozarts’ – the young Mozart is also celebrating his birthday in January, and this year Leopold will celebrate his 300 th birthday.
We kindly invite you to immerse into this masterpiece of exceptionally subtle music – visit a concert „Music above Snowy Vilnius“!
