St. George's Art Season Concludes with Lithuanian Premiere of Debussy Works

The International St. George's Art Season, a cultural event in Marijampolė, Lithuania, is set to conclude its 12th iteration with a significant musical performance. Organized by tenor Edmundo Seilius, the season has been a highlight throughout June.

The grand finale, scheduled for June 26 at the Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel, promises a Lithuanian premiere of two rarely heard compositions by Claude Debussy. The program includes "L’Enfant prodigue" (The Prodigal Son), a dramatic cantata, and "La demoiselle élue" (The Blessed Damozel), a lyrical work based on Dante Gabriel Rossetti's poem.

These pieces will be brought to life by two soloists and a women's choir, offering a unique auditory experience for the audience. The inclusion of these specific Debussy works marks a notable artistic moment for Lithuania's music scene, showcasing Seilius's commitment to introducing significant international repertoire to local audiences.
