Youth Orchestral Transformation in Súduva: A Four-Year Cultural Shift in the Region
On the evening of September 24, the Marijampole Cultural Centre will be abuzz with the enchanting melodies of film music, as the Suđuva Youth Symphony Orchestra presents "Cinema Paradiso." This special concert, part of the fifth edition of the classical music festival "Kultūros Dienos," promises a unique blend of music, cinema, and visual art.
Founded four years ago by conductor and educator Marius Reklaitis, the Suđuva Youth Symphony Orchestra has grown to be a beacon of artistic expression for young musicians in the cities of Marijampolė and Vilnius. The orchestra serves as a vibrant hub where musicians of different ages and levels of experience come together for rehearsals.
The concert will feature a diverse program of iconic film music, including pieces from "Zorba the Greek," "James Bond," "Pink Panther," Pixar animations, "Aladdin," "Pirates of the Caribbean," "Les Misérables," "The Muppet Show," and "Wallace and Gromit."
In a remarkable twist, live painting will be a part of the concert. Acclaimed Lithuanian painter Valentinas Butanavičius will create a painting on stage in response to the music performed by the Suđuva Youth Symphony Orchestra. This innovative fusion of art forms is sure to create a captivating visual spectacle.
For the orchestra's concertmaster, Emilija Mikučiauskaitė, playing in the orchestra has been a rekindling of her love for music. She values the opportunity to perform in the professional ensemble, and the orchestra serves as a place where young people grow, discover themselves, and feel valued.
The Suđuva Youth Symphony Orchestra's artistic director, Kamilė Zaveckaitė, shares that the festival's initial goal was to make classical music alive, visible, and accessible in Marijampole. The project is funded by the Lithuanian Council for Culture and the Marijampole Municipality, and it involves international-level performers and creators from various art forms.
Looking ahead, the orchestra has ambitious plans. Future projects include joint projects with youth ensembles from other countries, educational programs for children, and new themed concert series. The orchestra's conductor, Marius Reklaitis, dreams of the orchestra becoming a springboard for young people to the big stage while remaining connected to its homeland.
So, mark your calendars for September 24, and join the Suđuva Youth Symphony Orchestra and painter Valentinas Butanavičius for an unforgettable evening of film music, live painting, and the magic of classical music at the Marijampole Cultural Centre.
