February 16 is a special day for our nation and state! For the 108th time, we will commemorate the day when the Council of Lithuania declared in its session the “restoration of an independent Lithuania, organized on democratic principles.”

We invite you to celebrate this historic date together at the festive concert “OUR HOME”, which will take place on February 16 at 4:30 PM in the Saulė Concert Hall. The event combines national spirit and musical excellence, presenting works by Lithuanian composers and performers that convey our nation’s history, values, and struggle for freedom. This concert is a wonderful opportunity to gather, celebrate an important date, enjoy exceptional music, and experience unity.
