"Vox organi Cathedralis" (lit. "The Voice of the Cathedral Organ") is an organ music festival held at Vilnius Archcathedral Basilica since 2017.
Celebrating the festival's tenth anniversary, this year the organs of Vilnius Archcathedral will speak with the voices of cathedral organs from across Europe. From 14 June to 20 September, musical dedications will resonate to cathedrals in Austria, the Czech Republic, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Latvia, France and Germany. The programme features works by cathedral organists, compositions written for organ inaugurations or first performed in cathedrals. There will also be concerts by the organists of Vilnius and Freiburg (Germany) cathedrals.
