The Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra invites audiences to a concert that continues a long-standing tradition, bringing together professional musicians and students of the Kaunas Juozas Naujalis Music Gymnasium on one stage. Each year, this event is met with warm emotions, enthusiastic applause, and great public interest, and this year once again promises to surprise listeners with outstanding young talents and an inspiring musical experience.
The collaboration between the young performers of the Juozas Naujalis Music Gymnasium and the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra is a valuable and meaningful experience for both the students and the audience. The most talented pupils are given the opportunity to appear on a major stage as equal partners alongside professional musicians, experiencing firsthand both the responsibility and the joy of performing as soloists. Meanwhile, the audience has the unique chance to be among the first to hear gifted laureates of international competitions and to appreciate the musicality, maturity, and artistry of these young performers.
For the young musicians, this project offers a special opportunity not only to make music with their peers, but also to perform for the first time together with a professional symphony orchestra. Being selected to play alongside experienced musicians becomes a powerful source of motivation, encouraging students to pursue focused artistic development and strive for the highest standards. For many years, by organizing these concerts, the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra has provided future soloists with the opportunity to become acquainted with the subtleties of working with a symphony orchestra and hopes that this experience will become an important step in their professional journey.
This is not merely a musical evening, but a meaningful encounter where experience, youthful enthusiasm, and the sincere joy of creation come together. May this stage become an inspiring milestone at the beginning of the young performers’ musical paths, and for the audience — a chance to feel the energy of emerging talents and to enjoy live music that fosters connection and shared experience.
The orchestra believes that this concert will once again stand as a beautiful testament to how talent, support, and a love of music nurture the performers of the future.
