Each listener will find something that resonates with their heart. Maybe it will be the pensive and sometimes ironic songs of Gediminas Storpirškis or the transparent melodies of the band "Baltas varnas", or maybe after the concert you won't be able to stop humming the witty Sami songs of Povilas Girdenis. St. The sincere romances of Liuba Nazarenko, the songs of the band from Ireland "The Blue Back Waves" enriched with Celtic color, the melodies of the Belgian artists Ronny De Rauw and Ruben Schelstraete and the youthful bardic performances of the duo of artists from France Ganance Bauhain and Daniel Jeanbrau will set you in a romantic and dreamy mood. Even if you are not deeply interested in the genre of singing poetry, it is definitely worth hearing this very interesting, colorful and acclaimed company of foreign bards.
All performances are very unique and different, but they are united by what is the axis of the bardic identity - sincerity and a message that goes straight to the heart of the listener, no matter in what language it was sung.
