The oratorio "Mončys", which became one of the most prominent events of the Lithuanian season in France 2024, returns to Palanga on February 16 (Sunday) at 14 p.m. We are proud of this event, because in Lithuania, specifically in Palanga, the oratorio "Mončys" will be performed for only the second time.
The authors of the project idea – ethnographer Zita Baniulaitytė, head of the Palanga Cultural Center folklore ensemble “Mėguva” and the head of the Palanga Chamber Choir, Edmundas Jucevičius, do not hide their admiration for the personality of the sculptor A. Mončys. Namely The creator's charisma and works inspired the creation of this spectacle, which features more than 60 performers and includes unique traditional Samogitian instruments, whistles, percussion, folklore ensemble performances, electronic music, and polyphonic choir sounds.
The unique project created by Palangiškės – the oratorio “Mončys”, which combines various musical experiences, will continue to follow in the footsteps of the sculptor Antanas Mončys not only in Lithuania, but also abroad.
