About

Lithuania's biggest summer music festival turns Vilnius into a two-month concert hall, mixing classical masterpieces with jazz, world music and experimental projects in churches, courtyards and gardens.

Highlights

  • Two full months of concerts under the motto 'all genres are good, except the boring ones'.
  • Performances inside some of Vilnius's most beautiful churches and palaces.
  • Open-air evenings in the Bernardine Gardens on warm summer nights.

Practical tips

  • Book a concert in St. Catherine's Church for the best acoustics and atmosphere.
  • Browse the full programme online; there's something most weeks all summer.
  • Some open-air shows are free or low cost, ideal for a spontaneous evening.
