Rooted in long-standing traditions yet expressing them with a modern and unique touch \u2013 this is the VU Ensemble of today.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This year, the VU Ensemble is preparing new artistic concert programs and special showcase events across Lithuania to mark its 85th anniversary. In October, the first photography exhibition in the Ensemble\u2019s history, \u201cWoven\u201d<\/strong> (\u201cSuausti\u201d), will be unveiled.<\/p>\n

Two major jubilee concerts<\/strong> are planned in Vilnius: in May, concert \u201cSusiri\u0161imai\u201d brought the warmth of spring, and on November 28 concert \u201cVilniaus miesto balti bromai\u201d will crown this memorable year at the Lithuanian National Drama Theatre.<\/p>\n

The central theme of the jubilee year is people, their bonds, and the city of Vilnius.<\/strong> Over the decades, the ensemble has been shaped by countless creative young individuals. Their love for folk art still resonates with today\u2019s members, who continue to cherish and preserve traditions passed down through generations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vilnius takes on a symbolic role this year<\/strong> \u2013 as a gateway for all Lithuanians and guests, as the birthplace of the ensemble, and as the city through which every past and present ensemble\u2019s member has walked.<\/span><\/p>\n
