The foundation of the Lithuanian Youth Jazz Orchestra consists of the young artists of the Jazz Academy and the Klaipėda Jazz Orchestra, but young people from all over Lithuania also gather here. The orchestra has already appeared at the most famous Lithuanian jazz festivals, and actively presents original works throughout Lithuania.
Improdimensija invites you to a special concert where music lovers will be able to familiarize themselves with the sound of jazz/improvisational music born in Central and Western Lithuania. We are used to constantly hearing talk about the Vilnius jazz school, its connection with the legendary Ganelin trio, but in today’s Lithuania, music is developing much more vibrantly, geographical boundaries are becoming almost irrelevant, and young musicians are not tired of taking various initiatives not only in the capital.
