Video projections based on illustrations by Gabriel Pacheco

Programme: Works by Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis

“Eglė and Žilvinas” is one of the oldest Lithuanian folk tales about choice, loyalty, and the price of it all. It is a story of love that transcends the boundary between “my” and “your” worlds.

The evocative scenographic visuals created by the famous illustrator Gabriel Pacheco evoke a quiet, dreamlike atmosphere filled with inner tension. The artist invites us to take our time, listen closely, look carefully, and not be afraid to feel. During the concert, young listeners will also discover the music of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis – the Čiurlionis Quartet will extend the fairy tale through sound, offering another opportunity to hear the rustle of the forest, the roar of the sea, and a world where we experience longing, peace, or anxiety. The performers hope that this visual and musical concert will be a memorable experience and a joyful artistic discovery for the young audience.

Concert partners: “Muzikija” publishing house, “Strazdanėlės” innovative creative education kindergarten
