BROLIŲ TAUTKŲ RONDO Celebrates Its 50th Anniversary
Dear friends, trying to summarize the story of BROLIŲ TAUTKŲ RONDO in a few short lines is an impossible task!
Here are the facts:
The group was formed in 1976. The original members were: ALVIDAS TAUTKUS, GINTAUTAS TAUTKUS, ANTANAS MORKEVIČIUS, ARŪNAS ARMONAS, ROMAS UŽUSIENIS. On July 16, 1984, the Ministry of Culture granted the group the status of an honorary philharmonic ensemble and officially approved the name “RONDO.”
THE TAUTKUS BROTHERS’ RONDO is a group with a unique history of formation and development. It has included numerous artists who grew and evolved within the group, bringing a wealth of diversity to its activities. It has faced complex episodes of censorship. It has experienced the closure and reopening of the group’s activities.
Over 50 different people have participated in the group’s activities. It is a patriotic group, the heralds of Lithuania, whose very name stirs passions even today! Everyone longs for “RONDO”; everyone needs it. This says neither too much nor too little—only that it was a talented creation that will endure for ages, no matter who tries to distort historical facts or how they attempt to reorganize the top 100 most popular Lithuanian songs —you won’t erase BROLIŲ TAUTKŲ RONDO from people’s memories! People know WHO IS WHO.
ABOUT THE CONCERT
So—the original members of BROLIŲ TAUTKŲ RONDO got together and decided to celebrate the group’s 50th anniversary. They selected a repertoire for the concert that spans the very beginning, from 1978 to 1988.
They then turned to composer, arranger, and producer RAIGARDAS TAUTKŪS to give the songs a new, fresh sound, so that today’s audience would find them familiar and appealing.
And that’s exactly what happened. RAIGARDAS added the ŠAMPANINIS KAUNAS CHOIR to the program, making the concert even more spectacular and impressive.
The concert was so impressive that the audience had no intention of leaving afterward, demanding an encore—and then another. Not to mention that throughout the entire concert, the audience clapped, sang along, and by the end—everyone was dancing!!!
It’s so sweet, so beautiful, that I want to hug each and every one of you and thank you for coming, for remembering, for still loving us!
THANK YOU, my dears! Come visit! We’ll see you soon! We want all of LITHUANIA to celebrate this anniversary with us! After all, we all know very well—an anniversary like this is unlikely to happen again!
