“It was one of those rare moments in the history of humanity when people, holding nothing but sword-lilies in their hands, became a force that could not be conquered by any military power” (Virginijus Savukynas, lrt.lt).
On August 23, 1989 almost two million people in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia made a human chain, not even suspecting that soon enough, their greatest ambition and dearest wish would become a reality.
Today the Baltic Way is not just evidence of the desire and will to be free, but also a source of inspiration for the acclaimed American organist James D. Hicks. To mark this event, he will perform a programme featuring works by Baltic composers, including world premiere by Vidas Pinkevičius.
Let’s experience the power of togetherness amid the uplifting resonance of the organ.
