Singer Inga Valinskienė is preparing for the final concert of her summer tour, "Visada Jūsų" (Always Yours), choosing a unique venue: the Vytautas Magnus University Botanical Garden in Kaunas.
Valinskienė described her farewell concerts as distinct and special, emphasizing the energy and gratitude she shares with the audience. "Every time I go on stage, I know that if I ever return to this place, it will only be as a spectator. That's what changes everything: from the maximum energy given to the audience to the boundless gratitude in the air for everyone who came," she shared.
Perhaps it sounds a bit immodest, but people coming to farewell concerts could confirm – each performance on this tour is different and special in its own way. Every time I go on stage, I know that if I ever return to this place, it will only be as a spectator. That's what changes everything: from the maximum energy given to the audience to the boundless gratitude in the air for everyone who came.
This upcoming performance will be the only "Visada Jūsų" show held outdoors. It follows concerts in five major arenas earlier in the year and a solo show by the seaside. The Kaunas concert is set for Saturday, July 18, and will take place the day after the Botanical Garden hosts "Night of Scents." Valinskienė envisions the experience as deeply romantic, with her music blending with natural sounds like the wind and rustling leaves, under an open sky.
"What could be more romantic? In my mind, this scene sounds like pure poetry," the singer said. For these final, career-defining performances, Valinskienė and her professional team have crafted memorable shows. The repertoire includes her most popular hits as well as deeply personal works. The live band "Vairas" will accompany her on stage.
This will be the only "Visada Jūsų" performance under the open sky. The day before the concert, "Night of Scents" will take place at the VDU Botanical Garden, and on July 18, my music will smell and bloom with flowers here. Familiar songs will be complemented by nature's sounds – the wind, rustling leaves, we will not be limited by walls or ceilings, above our heads – only the sky. What could be more romantic? In my mind, this scene sounds like pure poetry.
