The concert program includes Austrian and Lithuanian music. Johann Nepomuk Hummel was a student of Mozart, Haydn and Salieri, friend of Beethoven, Schubert, Goethe and Schiller, teacher of Mendelssohn. In his work, Hummel connected the Viennese classics with the romantics. Tonight's Concert in G major is characterized by light, optimism, and delights with the ornate virtuoso texture and delicacy of both instruments. For many years, Hummel's work was undeservedly forgotten - it seemed to be covered by the shadow of Mozart's genius, but now it is being revived.

The greatest of the Viennese classics, Joseph Haydn, wrote most of his scores while working for three decades at the Dukes' Esterházy estate. Since concerts were held here twice a week, a lot of pieces were needed. Thus, for one of the concerts in 1771 Kapellmeister Haydn creates Symphony No. 43 in E flat major. Then, during the so-called "Sturm und Drang" (Sturm und Drang) period, the composer boldly and originally tried various forms and means of harmony, used the mannered effects of early classicism orchestral music, the expression of his compositions is very sensual.

The urbanistic worldliness of Antanas Rekašius determined his music freshness, unrestrained expression, humor, mockery and grotesque, hypertrophied stylizations of music from various eras abound in his compositions. According to Donatas Katkaus, "this is an openly theatrical expression, a performance of sounds, where speaking, brightness and temperament of the characters are more important. Rekašius was a poet of hypertrophy - sensualism, hysteria, nervousness, and at the same time playfulness, surprises, contrasts and opposites." "Muzika styginims" no. 2 (1999) is perhaps the composer's most frequently performed work, which is particularly loved by both performers and audiences due to its effectiveness.

The festival is financed by Vilnius City Municipality
