"My team is the best, coolest and most motivated in Lithuania. I understood this immediately when I was invited to become a team manager at the beginning of the year. But the most important thing is that the choristers have a clear vision and ambition - to constantly improve, change, change, learn and move forward. This is very rare in the Lithuanian choir community. I bow my head low to all the choristers, my most wonderful assistants, choirmasters Milda Zapolskaitė and Raminta Gocentienė, and our best vocal teacher Liudas Norvaiš. This evening of triumph belongs to us all equally. We will continue to improve, change and change the face of choral music in the country," says Egidijus Kaveckas.
