This long-lasting event includes ethnographic documentaries on
customs, musical instruments' production, music players, and dances.
This year the event has changed not only its location but also its
form. The audience will not just watch documentaries, it will be
offered a chance to have a cup of coffee or tea, or even to lunch.

folklore programs will be available.
FROM THE HOME-WOWED SONG (instrumental poetry), a project by
poet V. Braziūnas and composer A. Klova
September 9, Thursday, 21:00 at Vilnius Teachers' House
Sitting-room (39 Vilniaus St.)
This year's novelty. It represents a bit unexpected view on folk lore

forms - by word and by the sound of a music instrument.

music night.

GRIEŽYNĖ REVELRY AND FOLCOTHEQUE
September 10, Friday, 21:00 at PROSPEKTO P.U.B. (2/1 Gedimino Ave.)
Folcotheque means a new form of disco where musical pieces of
different genres can be heard. They may be inspired by traditional
folklore or folk music, or by a union of folklore and other genres
(the so-called mixes), or by world music. The music is characterised
by distinct rhythm, consequently, it is fit for dance and listening,
or it may serve as the background for a glass of beer or other
beverages. The folkotheque welcomes everyone who wishes to have a good
time wrapped up in the sounds of exotic music. This year for the first
time it will also offer live music.
OPENING OF A WIND INSTRUMENTS' SHOW AND A CONCERT AT THE
LITHUANIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM (1 Arsenalo St.)
