Pazaislis Music Festival in Kaunas
The Pazaislis Music Festival is Lithuania's largest classical music festival, staging around forty concerts each summer in the baroque courtyard of Pazaislis Monastery near Kaunas since 1996. More than twenty-five thousand listeners attend performances spanning symphonic, choral, and chamber music. The programme extends beyond the monastery courtyard into other venues across Kaunas and additional Lithuanian towns, giving the festival a reach well beyond its single most iconic setting.
