Baltic Music Days 2025, in collaboration with ‘Muzikos ruduo’, kicks off in October
The festival Baltic Music Days, held annually in a different Baltic country, is taking place this year in collaboration with the Lithuanian contemporary music festival Music Autumn (“Muzikos ruduo”).
The joint festival with an international dimension, will be held from October 9–18 at The Energy and Technology Museum, Liepkalnis Water Reservoir, and Kablys Club.
The central theme uniting the festival program is Meaning Transformations explored by Lithuanian composers and performers, along with guests from Latvia and Estonia.
The program invites audiences to examine intermediality and explore various forms of meaning transformation, observe the process of change itself, and discover how an entirely new field of meanings can emerge depending on the medium.
The theme is closely connected to an upcoming jubilee: in 2025, the 150th anniversary of M. K. Čiurlionis’ birth will be celebrated.
In Čiurlionis’ works, music and visual art merged in a synesthetic harmony, demonstrating how different artistic languages can enrich and transform each other.
