„Children for Children“, is a charity concert that now has been organized for four years in a row. The aim of the concert is to appreciate the great memory of a famous violoncellist, conductor, defender of human rights, philanthropist Mstislav Rostropovich and his great contribution for Lithuania.
In a solemn concert “Children for Children” the ideas of maestro M. Rostropovich will be brought to life. For more than 25 years actively participating in charity events, the famous musician has patronized both talented and diseased children. The young performers patronized by the maestro foundation will perform together with St. Christopher Chamber Orchestra conducted by Modestas Barkauskas. In such way they will try to drive attention to their friends of the same age, but not as lucky as they are in terms of health: money for Charity Foundation of Children’s Hospital will be collected. That children give concert for other children and by such initiative something greater is born within their minds – their responsibility and empathy – this is the main idea of the concert and thank you to maestro, who has brought hope to many children of this world.
The concert will be broadcast on TV channel LRT Kultūra on the 14th of April at 21:00 (LT time).
