This autumn, Vilnius will become a global hub for M. K. Čiurlionis art studies. The international congress “M. K. Čiurlionis 150: Unveilings and Interpretations” will bring together 53 presenters from 14 countries – musicologists, art historians, philosophers, and artists – who will share the latest discoveries and interpretations of the genius creator’s legacy.

The three-day program includes academic discussions, presentations, and keynote lectures exploring Čiurlionis’s creative connections with modernist aesthetics, philosophy, ideas of art synthesis, and the global context.
