On June 22nd, 2023, Mykolas Romeris University (MRU) Grand Duchy of Lithuania (LDK) Orchestra will make its debut during graduation ceremonies on campus when graduates of MRU's Law School, Public Governance and Business Faculty and the Faculty of Human and Social Studies will be awarded diplomas.
The first performance of the MRU LDK Orchestra, which is united by solidarity and a common mission, is a special event. Maria Mirovska, who conducts the Orchestra lives in Lithuania. She has brought together musicians not only from Lithuania, but also from Belarus and Ukraine. The latter were forced to flee their country after the beginning of Russia's War in Ukraine.
The mission of this Orchestra is not only to acquaint the university community, but also the general public, with rarely performed works by composers from historically and culturally close countries. It is the possibility to create a unique cultural musical space and unique interpretations of works of art, collaborate with bright soloists from these countries that has encouraged them to move forward with establishment of this Orchestra. It will help to popularize classical music.
The June 22nd concert of the MRU LDK Orchestra, at the end of the school year, will be their first public performance.
