Experience the rich, evocative layers of Lithuanian contemporary choral music.
This is a fragment of a performance by the Mixed Choir of the Juozas Gruodis Conservatory, featuring “Ažuolėlis šimtasašakis” by Vaclovas Augustinas inspired by Lithuanian folklore. In Lithuanian folklore, the oak tree (ąžuolas) is more than just a plant it is a powerful symbol of life and identity. The “hundred-branched oak” represents the Lithuanian family and spirit: roots our ancestors, trunk the present generation and branches the children reaching toward the future.
