On this occasion, concerts of his work are held in various halls of Lithuania, attracting great attention. "There have been a number of interesting turns in the composer's creative biography: 1980-1987 he founded the electronic music group "Argo" of the Kaunas Music Theater, since 1957. constantly rings the Kaunas carillon, and in 1998 appointed chief bell ringer of the city of Kaunas. The composer created one of the most popular musicals in Lithuania, "Ugnies medziklė su varovais" (1975), and the song "Kregždutės" from this musical is one of the most popular works in Lithuania. The composer also regularly writes music of traditional genres: operas, symphonies, chamber works, oratorios and vocal cycles. This music by Giedrias Kuprevičius is moderately modern, the dominance of improvisational beginnings and clear links with literature or fine art can be observed in many works. The composer also composes music for drama performances and movies" (mic.lt). Reviewer Alina Ramanauskienė described G. Kuprevičius as a creator with a sense of humor, incredible wit, and sometimes irony, who emphasized what is perhaps most clearly encoded in the maestro's current music - these are "subtexts that allow us to say more and more accurately than directly speaking words".

Sounds in 2018. written "Symphony without piano" as Sonata no. 2 for piano (1970), the orchestral version, and the highlight of the evening is the new, never-before-heard in Lithuania four-part Concerto for violin and orchestra "Keturi baron Munchausen sapnai" by G. Kuprevičius. About the idea of ​​the piece, which was inspired by the composer's creative colleague violinist Boris Livschitz, the author says the following: "I thought it would be a dreamy Munchausen. After all, the form of dreams allows you to avoid literalism, and it helps the listeners, who all probably know Munchausen's stories by heart, to indulge in the fantasies of subconscious images, without me pointing the finger at the Baron's specific stories. The chosen dream times (morning, afternoon, nap, night) are also spaces of different states. After all, it is quite different to sink into dreams in the middle of a night's sleep and in the morning."

"Dreams of Munchausen" will be performed by the National Symphony Orchestra, a young violin virtuoso born in Seville, Javier Comesaña Barrera, who has received a diploma from Her Majesty Queen Sofia of Spain for his achievements. , who also won the 1st prize at the Jascha Heifetz competition in Vilnius and the "Prinz von Hessen-Preis" awarded by the Kronberg Academy.

The well-known fragments of Edvard Grieg's suite music drama "Peras Giuntas" will also be heard in the concert program of Greta G. Kuprevičius's opus and one of Finn Einojuhani Rautavaara's most original works - Concerto for birds and orchestra "Cantus arcticus", in which he used recordings of the voices of arctic birds made in the Lapland and Liminka bogs, electronically altering their songs to blend with the sounds of the orchestra, the brass also imitating the birds.
