It has become clear when the Street Music Day will take place: you can register

May 18 The eighteenth Street Music Day (GMD) will be held in cities and towns throughout Lithuania. This year's GMD is special - not only musicians, but also dancers are invited to register. 

The motto of the 2007th GMD is "Invite the city to dance". The organizers of the event say that Street Music Day since its inception in XNUMX. was accompanied by dancing. Everyone who participated in it at least once - played, sang or simply moved according to the sounds of the music, in a way invited the people around them and the city itself to dance. According to Jogaila Ivašauskas, one of the GMD organizers, special attention is paid to dance this year in order to pay tribute to this form of expression, which is not just a natural reaction to music.

"I'm fascinated by the natural human reaction to stomp your feet, bob your head or dance with your whole body when you hear music. Music and dance appear to be inseparable and dependent on each other, yet they can both live independently as well as become objects of inspiration for each other. A day of street music cannot be imagined without music, just like without dance. This year we are celebrating music with dance and we are inviting GMD-sounding cities to dance," said J. Ivašauskas.

The organizer of the event, Viktorija Mamontovaitė, calls on all dancers, dance groups, schools and other institutions related to the art of dance to take an example from musicians - to step into the streets, squares and squares during GMD, filling them not only with music, but also with dance.

"This year, we invite dancers to join the Street Music Day, to become street artists for one day and, together with the musicians, to dance the residents and guests of the city. Also, we invite all the participants of the festival not to be shy and join the dancers, try their hand at dancing or simply relax, get involved and feel the music playing in the street with your whole body," V. Mamontovaitė invited.

"This year's GMD motto, 'Invite the city to dance', invited me to imagine the vitality and energy inherent in dance and urban culture through a visual metaphor where dancing people move the city's facade. The movement of dance and music is fluid and unstable, and capturing them in a static illustration poses challenges: both music and dance exist and change in time, environment, human interaction, which influences the beauty of the experience of these two types of art," commented the author of the illustration, Lina Vyšniauskaitė - Discipline.

May 18 everyone is invited to perform and invite the city to dance - young and old, children and their parents, representatives of various genders and races, amateurs and professionals, musicians, dancers, actors and all other creators. Performers can register the time and place of their performance by visiting the website www.gmd.lt. 

On the day of launching the registration of performers, 24 cities are connected to the GMD map: Alytus, Biržai, Druskininkai, Dusetos, Jonava, Jurbarkas, Kalvarija, Kaunas, Klaipeda, Marijampolė, Pakruojis, Panevėžys, Pasvalys, Priekulė, Rietava, Rokiškis, Rudamina, Šilalė, Šilutė, Tauragė, Vilkaviškis, Vilnius, Visaginas and Žiežmariai. Other cities, towns and villages can be added to this list. Last year, the seventeenth GMD was played in forty places in Lithuania.

The long-time friends of Street Music Day join together for another dance this year, thus helping to create one of the biggest music festivals in Lithuania. LRT OPUS - the main information partner of the event, promises a special, live broadcast from Vilnius. The sponsor of the event, the cafe chain "Caffeine", promises to create a special GMD coffee drink, which will be available to taste in all Lithuanian cafes, and in Vilnius to play the role of an information center before and during the celebration - maps of the GMD event will be available here.

Street Music Day was born on the initiative of the legendary musician and social activist Andrias Mamontov. in 2007 A. Mamontovas sent an invitation to his fellow musicians by e-mail to go to the streets of the capital and play. Since then, every year the third Saturday of May sounds louder and louder not only in the streets of Vilnius, all of Lithuania, but also in foreign countries. During the whole period of the festival, GMD was independently organized JAV, in Norway, Belgium, in Ukraine, in Latvia, Holland, Georgia, Armenia, Iceland and Ireland.

This year's Street Music Day will be the eighteenth.
