The tradition of the Vilnius Festival is meaningful - to remember, reflect and celebrate the day of mourning and hope through music. On the eve of this gloomy date, especially in the presence of the still continuous war, the biggest groups of Lithuanian musicians and well -known creators and winners of the National Culture and Art Prize invite you not to lose hope and values. This is evidenced by Algirdas Martinaitis' six -part oratorio for a mixed choir, reader and symphony orchestra "Invocations in Faith and Hope," which was written for commemoration of deportees and political prisoners. Invocation (Latin Invocatio) means crying, addressing us all. "The Great Post -War and World Time of War and World's time, the suffering of exile and imprisonment for us must become a holy memory, sacred reflection on the present and the future," says the author.

Onutė Narbutaitė Symphony no. 2 (2001) consists of two independent parts. According to the author, the second part named "Melody", "accompanied by reading of the New Testament and other texts, reflection on Bach. These reflections inspired the song." O. Narbutaitė describes the "melody" as a rather ascetic music: "It's a simple singing, perhaps derived from desperation but providing hope."

Robert Šervenikas, the first conductor of many Lithuanian composers, also conducting the most prominent collectives for the most prominent collectives, conducting these two ops through the premiere. O. Narbutaitė dedicated the second symphony to R. Šervenikas.
