During "Kaunas – European Capital of Culture 2022", the Lizdas Sound Institute collective launched a unique project for the first time – "Kaunas 808 Orchestra". It was an event where the grandeur of classical music merged with electronic music. Sound like opposites? Perhaps. But both sides meet where music speaks the loudest – in emotion and shared vision.
A few years have passed, nostalgia has kicked in, and now this festival is making a comeback as one of the main events of the 2025 AUDRA festival.
