Musica Notturna | Culture Night 2026

The Vilnius University Chamber Orchestra invites you to its annual, already traditional Culture Night festival concert “Musica notturna.”

The program of this evening will open the doors to a diverse world of chamber music. Works by Vivaldi, Haydn, Mozart, Vieuxtemps, and other composers will be performed for orchestra and soloists. In this concert, the soloist roles will be taken by the orchestra members themselves and young talented instrumentalists.

The orchestra will present a wide musical palette – from the subtlety and elegance of the Baroque period to the expressiveness and bold harmonies of contemporary music.

“Musica notturna” promises not only aesthetic enjoyment but also a sensitive and inspiring musical experience, inviting the listener to focus and experience the beauty of music in a sacred space.

Concert duration: 1 hour (no intermission)
