Lithuanian Music Day in Stockholm

Lithuanian Music Day in Stockholm

On 17th of September, 2016, the Lithuanian Youth Society in Sweden together with the World Lithuanian Youth Association and the ambassador of the event Andrius Mamontovas invites YOU ALL to Norrmalmstorg square – in the heart of the city we will be greeted by folkish sound brought directly from Lithuania by music band “Kūjeliai” (Hammers – in English) – with linen shirts and ethnic bands they will storm like in a rock ´n´ roll concert. The artists, artisans and performers from Lithuania and Sweden will help you lift the autumn mood and colour it at the kite workshop.

Lithuanian Music Day in Stockholm – the first of its kind cultural event in Sweden, by which we seek to introduce the creative, artistic and positive Lithuanian youth, along with Lithuania and its national traditions to the general Swedish public.

When planning this event, we chose an original concept. Music, art, history and sociality – four phrases aptly describing what is waiting for all participants in the event this fall. We decided to take a new perspective for the popular and traditional Street Music Day that takes place in Lithuania and other parts of the world every year and to pay regard to Lithuania’s important historical events, the so-called “Monday meetings” (Måndagsrörelsen– in Swedish), at Norrmalmstorg square in Stockholm, where at the time (March 1990 to September 1991) the Swedish society were gathering to express solidarity with the Baltic countries that struggled for independence.

With the upcoming Music Day we wish to bring together our community and give a sense to this historical place in the eyes of the youth, who bravely meets the future and respects the past.

The event is open to the public and free of charge!

Let’s meet at the Lithuanian Music Day in Stockholm on 17^th of September 2016!
