25 October, 21.30, Contemporary Art Centre
Procession
Unique and not traditional in any sense, this concert is a long, and indeed almost continuous process of interaction with music and culinary heritage. Celebrated Lithuanian and foreign performers will be taking part, and various compositions from different countries, specially selected by the ISCM for the event, will be presented. During the concert intervals, culinary heritage from around the world will be introduced. This “gourmet” process will last for over 4 hours – almost until the morning light…
The main idea underlying the event is that of a multifaceted, subtle, and altering experience of listening to music, and of open interaction between listeners during the intervals whilst enjoying culinary heritage specialties from around the globe. It is much more than mere movement of the public at the Contemporary Art Centre from one music space to another, or from a concert area to a non-concert, culinary area: it also is giving certain significance to an action, to an original process.
The musical program of the Procession consists of 4 musical blocks, each about 40 – 50 minutes in duration. The half-hour intervals between them will be dedicated to savouring the cuisine and wines of various countries around the world, as well as other pleasurable surprises. Two guides will host the event throughout the entire evening.
The musical blocks are arranged according to musical works’ instrumental composition. Many exotic instruments from the most distant of lands will be presented to the listeners, who will also be able to meet authors of the works, who will also be taking part in the musical procession.
