The concert series "Piano & A Microphone" will be continued by Vidas Bareikis at the Lukiškių prison church
Lithuanian artist Vidas Bareikis will perform in the intimate concert series inspired by Prince's album at the historic Lukiškių prison church, inviting audiences to experience music in a unique format.
The concert series "Piano & A Microphone," inspired by the legendary artist Prince's 1983 album, is set to continue at the unique venue of Lukiškių Prison Church in Lithuania, featuring the Lithuanian artist Vidas Bareikis. This initiative is part of a broader conversion project of the historic prison, aiming to host renowned Lithuanian performers in unconventional and sometimes challenging settings. Bareikis, who has roots in the unique format of this series, will be making his appearance on February 19, and the concert promises an atmosphere that allows for close interaction with the audience.
Vidas Bareikis expressed his excitement about returning to this specific format, recalling how it aligns with his early musical career, particularly the days of his performance group "Suicide DJs." He mentions that the concerts are most special when the audience is seated closely around him, creating an intimate and almost communal experience. The anticipation surrounding his performance is heightened by the understanding that this format reflects his authentic musical identity and offers a deep connection with his audience.
As part of a cultural renaissance within unique venues, the continuation of the "Piano & A Microphone" series signifies both a tribute to musical legends like Prince and an opportunity for local artists like Bareikis to explore their creative expressions in intimate settings. This series not only fosters community engagement through music but also revitalizes interest in historical spaces like Lukiškių Prison, showcasing how music can transform and breathe new life into such locations.
