November 26, 2026 7 PM St. Catherine’s Church, Vilnius, Vilnius
What happens when the legendary melodies of The Beatles meet Spanish passion, tango rhythms, and the dazzling sound of a virtuoso guitar? An extraordinary musical evening is born, where the boundaries between genres disappear and familiar music takes on a whole new life!
On the evening of 26 November, St. Catherine’s Church will come alive with the sounds of guitar and string orchestra, inviting audiences on a colourful musical journey – from the timeless hits of Liverpool’s legendary Fab Four to the fiery rhythms of South America.
At the heart of the evening is guitarist Rokas Jurkus, who, together with the St. Christopher Chamber Orchestra, will reveal the remarkable versatility and expressive power of the guitar.
One of the evening’s highlights will be Leo Brouwer’s Beatlerianas, in which iconic Beatles songs such as Yesterday, Penny Lane, Ticket to Ride, and other beloved classics are reimagined through the captivating combination of guitar and string orchestra. This is a chance to rediscover familiar melodies in an entirely new light – with subtle nuances, playful arrangements, fresh colours, and unexpected musical twists.
But the journey doesn’t end in Liverpool!
Harvey Hope’s De Madrugada will transport listeners into a world of Spanish rhythms and expressive guitar melodies, while the music of Astor Piazzolla will ignite the irresistible passion of Argentine tango. Works by Roberto Di Marino will add even more colour and variety to this vibrant musical programme.
This is a concert where classical music meets pop legends, the guitar takes centre stage, and the string orchestra breathes new life into every melody.
Familiar melodies. Unexpected sounds. Irresistible rhythms.
Join us and discover what music sounds like when there are no boundaries!
