Concept
Once, a large Jewish community lived in the capital of Lithuania, so Vilnius earned the name Jerusalem of the North. The idea of “Symphony from Jerusalem of the North” is to show how close the history of Lithuanians and Jews is intertwined, so we invite everyone to join us on a musical journey, during which we will witness the most important moments of Israel and Lithuania’s history.The Goal of the project
In implementing the Holocaust’s 80th anniversary music project, we seek to honour the memory of Jews living in Lithuania, express solidarity to the Jewish community, and use artistic means of expression to fight against modern forms of anti-Semitism.

The importance of the project
The premiere of “Symphony from Jerusalem of the North” is scheduled for 23 September – National Memorial Day for the Genocide of Lithuanian Jews. Concert dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Holocaust would take place in the courtyard of the Presidential Palace, close to the Vilnius Ghetto. Invitations to the event will be sent to heads of state, foreign ambassadors, members of the Jewish community of Lithuania, the Righteous Among the Nations and their descendants, and other guests of honour. The concert will be broadcasted on national television.Concerts:
