The festival program will bring together the city\u2019s youngest jazz talents, world-class performers, and even the chance to virtually ascend to a height of 160 meters. <\/p>\n<p>On June 26, the festival stage will feature STOP JAZZ, a jazz ensemble made up of students from the Juozas Karosas Music School in Klaip\u0117da, led by expert instructor Deividas Kontrimas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis ensemble has been active under this name for more than twenty years. During that time, it has participated in numerous concerts, competitions, and festivals, and its lineup has constantly evolved alongside the growing generations of young musicians. The current lineup of STOP JAZZ is one of the youngest in the group\u2019s history\u2014it consists of musicians aged 9\u201316, for whom these first years of making music together will be crowned with a performance on one of Lithuania\u2019s most important jazz stages.\u201d \u2013 says expert teacher Deividas Kontrimas.<\/p>\n<p>The following artists will perform for the festival audience:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aust\u0117ja Jakubaityt\u0117 \u2013 vocals<\/li>\n<li>Anastasija Borovec \u2013 tenor saxophone, piano<\/li>\n<li>Nojus Strankauskas \u2013 Percussion<\/li>\n<li>Rokas Anduleit \u2013 bass guitar<\/li>\n<li>Bernardas Jurgis Urbutis \u2013 guitar<\/li>\n<li>\u0104\u017euolas Marcinkus \u2013 guitar<\/li>\n<li>Bahdan Zholal \u2013 trumpet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The performance by these young musicians will serve as a reminder that jazz will live on as long as a new generation breathes life into it.<\/p>\n<p>However, this year\u2019s festival will offer more than just musical discoveries. On June 26\u201327, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., a special educational space will be open in Theater Square, presented to festival guests by the festival\u2019s partners, \u201cIgnitis renewables.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>While improvisations play on stage, visitors will be able to explore the world of wind energy right there. Virtual reality goggles will allow them to ascend to the top of a 160-meter-tall wind turbine and view the world of energy from a bird\u2019s-eye perspective. <\/p>\n<p>Festival guests will also be able to enjoy a giant JENGA game focused on energy issues, the interactive game \u201cSun and Wind,\u201d a creative magnet coloring area, and educational jigsaw puzzles and puzzles that trace the journey of electricity from its generation to our homes.<\/p>\n<p>The education zone will also feature a mobile Ignitis customer service center. Its specialists will provide advice on electricity and gas plans, contracts, billing, and self-service, and will assist customers in installing and using the EnergySmart app. <\/p>\n<p>Festival director Inga Grubliauskien\u0117 is delighted that this year\u2019s festival program encompasses much more than just music: \u201cThe Klaip\u0117da Castle Jazz Festival has always been more than just concerts. It is a place where music, ideas, people, and visions of the future come together. That is why we are especially pleased that, together with young musicians and our partners, we can offer festival visitors not only memorable concerts, but also knowledge, new experiences, and diverse activities for the whole family. It is very important to me that the festival inspires not only listening, but also learning, discovering, asking questions, and dreaming. Just as jazz fosters creativity, so does learning foster personal growth. And when, next to the stage where our city\u2019s youngest jazz talents are taking their first steps, there\u2019s an opportunity to rise 160 meters high and look toward the future of energy, you realize that the festival truly becomes a place where creativity, science, technology, and people come together.\u201d     <\/p>\n<p>Just as jazz inspires creativity and freedom, responsibly generated energy helps build a more sustainable future. That is why we are delighted that these values come together in one place\u2014a festival where what matters is not only what we hear, but also what we take home with us. <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd Theater Square, Klaip\u0117da<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcc5 June 26\u201327<\/p>\n<p>\u23f0 Educational Space: 1:00 PM\u20137:00 PM<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfb5 \u201cSTOP JAZZ\u201d at the Juozas Karosas Music School in Klaip\u0117da: 6:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfb7 32nd Klaip\u0117da Castle Jazz Festival<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jazz.lt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>www.jazz.lt<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The festival is funded by the Klaip\u0117da City Municipality, the Lithuanian Council for Culture, and the Klaip\u0117da State Seaport Authority.
