The story

Bronius Jonusas Wind Instrument Festival in Vilnius

The Bronius Jonusas Wind Instrument Festival-Competition is a Vilnius music school event running for more than two decades, bringing together roughly 500 to 600 young wind and percussion players from Lithuanian music and art schools as soloists, ensembles and orchestras. Held across several rounds each year from February to May, it is organized by the Vilnius Bronius Jonusas Music School.

Vilnius's Bronius Jonusas Music School has spent more than two decades turning its wind and percussion festival into one of the country's central events for young brass, woodwind and percussion players.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes this festival is its scale within the youth music education world: pulling in hundreds of young performers and around a hundred teachers from schools across Lithuania makes it one of the country's largest recurring events specifically for wind and percussion students

02

The mystery stays covered

Structuring the competition across multiple rounds by instrument and ensemble type, ending in a shared orchestra day, gives it a format closer to a graded academic assessment than a typical concert festival

03

The city starts moving

Recent editions have folded historical commemorations into individual rounds, including a tribute marking the hundredth anniversary of Lithuania's first march, connecting a student competition to the country's broader musical heritage
