About the Event
After a long break from the Lithuanian stage, professional vocalist Simona Jakubėnaitė returns under her stage name SIMONA, inviting you to experience the music from her album “Her Light” on March 28, accompanied by the St. Christopher Chamber Orchestra.
Under the arches of St. Catherine’s Church, the grandeur of the orchestra, SIMONA’s masterful vocals, and emotionally rich compositions from the album will create a deeply moving evening. The orchestra is conducted by Modestas Barkauskas.

“I feel that today’s listener longs for authenticity and purity – the clean and vibrant sound of live instruments. Music that doesn’t need to be analyzed – you just dive into it, let yourself be carried away, feel the goosebumps, and let your body speak through emotion. All of this and more, I invite you to experience together on March 28,” – says SIMONA.

SIMONA’s new album “Her Light” is a reflection of the artist’s life – a deeply personal work that captures the fleeting nature of the moment, emotional states, life experiences, growth, and the journey of learning to love and feel everything around with the heart.

“I hope that everyone who joins me and the St. Christopher Chamber Orchestra on this special night in March will truly feel and live through the album together. I believe my music will stir the deepest parts of us – where light resides,” – SIMONA invites you to be present on March 28.

About the Artist

“A vocalist with an extraordinary talent and a stunning instrument, creating a fresh, personal, and unique sound that deserves to be heard. She is a remarkable composer and a true master of her voice,” – Greg Osby, American saxophonist and composer.

“She’s the kind of singer who makes you stop in your tracks,” – Victor Wooten, five-time Grammy-winning bassist, songwriter, and producer.

SIMONA is the first Lithuanian vocalist to be invited to study at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston (USA), known as a powerhouse of world-class musicians. During her four years of study, her vocal talent and original compositions received numerous awards and scholarships from the college community.
While living in the U.S., SIMONA actively participated in the music scenes of Boston and New York, gaining invaluable experience and collaborating with world-renowned jazz musicians and composers such as Victor Wooten, Greg Osby, Jetro da Silva, Yellowjackets, and others.
Graduating Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Professional Music – Jazz Composition and Theory – from Berklee, SIMONA returned to Lithuania and founded the “New Vocal” studio, where she now teaches professional vocal lessons based on Berklee’s methodology.
Currently, SIMONA is presenting her long-awaited and deeply heartfelt album “Her Light”, marking a new chapter in her career – a return to the stage and a mission to open listeners’ hearts.
