"Ateities žaliavimai" for Concert Band (festival piece based on Lithuanian folk themes)

"Ateities žaliavimai" (eng. "A Flourishing Future") was specially commissioned for the VARIO AUDRA ("Brass Storm") concert band showcase event at Twinsbet Arena, July 4, 2024, as part of the Centennial Lithuanian Song Festival. It is based on two Lithuanian folk themes, "Vai žydėk, žydėk" and "Kada buvo Kadujo".
It was an absolute thrill to conduct my own piece in front of this epic orchestra!
