Let's celebrate Kaunas as a Cultural European Capital by composing a collective concert !
Write music, a poem, a melody, a text, draw the moment, a collage, the gesture, the idea…
“The City Composing Kaunas” is a project that gives a chance for everybody to become a music composer thus involving people that are non-musicians in the fascinating music creation process. This project invites citizens of Kaunas to become active creative participants and contributors to contemporary music making. The scores are then collected and arranged by Hara Alonso and later on performed in a concert by a fantastic ensemble of local musicians from the Jazz Academy.
During June there will be a digital platform where you can participate by sending a score and during June-August there will be music notebooks placed in public spaces of the city. Everybody is welcome to participate!
Some pictures of the concert at the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kaunas in September 2022 with the amazing ensemble formed by:
Dana Indane (voice), Gediminas Stepanavičius (double bass), Agnė Repečkaitė (voice and flute), Silvia Leonzio (voice and electric bass), Arnas Mikalkenas (piano and percussion), Povilas Jurkša (trombone), Dominykas Vysniauskas (trumpet), Mindaugas Apulskis (saxophone) and Kristupas Gikas (flute), Austėja Marija Kimbartaitė (piano, voice and conduction).
