Folk Music Filled Vilnius: “Šviesa” and Other Ensembles Closed the “Rotušės kolonada 2025” Festival
On August 31 in Vilnius, the final concert of the fifth anniversary festival “Rotušės kolonada 2025” resounded with vibrant folk music, full of the spirit of freedom!
The concert featured national art ensembles from the capital’s universities: Vytautas Magnus University Education Academy (VDU ŠA) song and dance ensemble “Šviesa”, Vilnius Tech dance ensemble “Vingis”, Vilnius University folklore ensemble “Ratilio”. The stage came alive with traditional dances, songs, and melodies that touched both performers and the audience alike.
On the very last day of summer, we celebrated the Day of Freedom from Occupation and welcomed the new academic year, which made us feel a deep sense of unity, national spirit, and the fullness of the moment.
