Vladas Bagdonas. “An Evening of Bagdonas Songs.” Maestro’s Birthday Concert. | Tamsta Club

On January 16, 2027, at 20:00, Maestro Vladas Bagdonas will take the stage at Tamsta, a live music club in the capital, for the second year in a row with a solo concert to celebrate his birthday. The artist, who will celebrate his birthday that evening, will present his most beautiful songs in the programme “An Evening of Bagdonas Songs.” What those songs are, how they will sound now, what new colours they will take on once the dust of time has been blown away, what today’s Vladas Bagdonas writes about and sings about — this is a secret to be revealed only at the one and only concert on January 16. Composer Audrius Balsys (keyboards) will join the Maestro on stage.

Since the 1970s, Vladas Bagdonas has embodied legendary roles on the Lithuanian stage: Daukantas, Pirosmani, Othello, Faust, and Zorba, and has worked with directors Dalia Tamulevičiūtė, Jonas Vaitkus, and Eimuntas Nekrošius. Music has often accompanied acting in his life: during his studies and later while working with composer Vygantas Telksnys and Alvydas Jegelevičius. However, when speaking about his musical performances, V. Bagdonas tends to be ironic: “I’m not a musician, I’m an artist acting out a concert.” In 2017, the Maestro released the record of original songs “Liekantiems būti,” and in 2020 the best-songs record “Medžio degimas.” In 2025, his latest album, “Bėk, Bagdonai, bėk,” was released on CD and LP.
