In 2026, \u201cAn Hour with RATILIO\u201d<\/strong> returns \u2013 an open session series inviting the Vilnius University community<\/strong> to briefly step away from academic routines and immerse themselves in live Lithuanian folklore<\/strong> alongside the RATILIO ensemble.<\/p>\n Spring sessions<\/strong> will feature feast songs<\/strong>, songs for beloved mothers, and a closer exploration of song treasures collected by Liudvikas R\u0117za<\/strong>. In autumn<\/strong>, the Great Hall will resonate with romances, the lullaby sounds of the kankl\u0117s<\/strong>, and the lively steps of participants dancing in circles and traditional dances. The cycle begins and ends with calendar festivals<\/strong> \u2013 celebrating U\u017egav\u0117n\u0117s and Advent-Christmas folklore.<\/p>\n Join us in the Great Hall of Vilnius University<\/strong>, in a shared circle led by RATILIO members and all participating guests!<\/p>\n 2026 Schedule:<\/strong><\/p>\n 02.04<\/strong> \u2013 U\u017egav\u0117n\u0117s Folklore<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 03.04<\/strong> \u2013 Feast Songs<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 04.01<\/strong> \u2013 Songs from Liudvikas R\u0117za\u2019s Collections<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 05.06<\/strong> \u2013 Songs for Mother<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 09.02<\/strong> \u2013 Dances, Circles, and Games<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 10.07<\/strong> \u2013 Romances<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 11.09<\/strong> \u2013 Kankl\u0117s<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 12.02<\/strong> \u2013 Advent-Christmas Folklore<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Participation is free.<\/strong>\n
