Vilnius's "Vasaros terasa" became a hub of activity Friday evening as singer Liepa debuted a new concert format. This marked the first time she performed in this open-air venue, presenting a fresh repertoire designed not only for listening but also for dancing. The singer had previously hosted more intimate, romantic shows in venues like Kotrynos Church and the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra hall.
Liepa admitted to feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension before the show. She had only shared songs from her newly released album, which she feels truly captures her sound, with a small circle of friends and family. "This is the first time I will hold this type of concert where listeners can dance," Liepa told "Delfi" before the performance. "It will be wonderful to present songs from the newly released album under the open sky. I am curious how the audience will react to all of this."
