VILNIUS TECH invites students and all Vilnius residents to celebrate the NEW YEAR
The community of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH) is waiting for students returning to the university and invites them to celebrate the New Year. All residents and guests of the capital are invited to the celebrations of the New Academic Year, who, like welcoming the New Year as well as this New Academic Year, is waiting for a free celebration concert and a performance of drones which will replace the fireworks.
"The real New Year has a serious competitor - September 1, because from this day after the summer holidays and relaxation we return to study, work, all the other activities and the rhythm. It is a special opportunity for our university community to get back together after a long time not seen. We want to share this special day with everyone and celebrate the New Academic Year together, ”says Ilma Cikanaitė, Public Communication Office Director of VILNIUS TECH.
At the epicenter of the New Year celebration - the performance of the group "Beissoul & Einius":
The celebration will begin on September 1st.
10 AM at VILNIUS TECH central building (Saulėtekio al. 11), where the official opening ceremony of the new Academic year will take place.
8 PM celebration concert with performers of VILNIUS TECH students: Akvilė Urbonavičiūtė, Gabija Lukrecija Petrauskaitė, Gabija Aleknavičiūtė, Gavrel.
9 PM "Beissoul & Einius" concert.
Each of these performers is already making their way into the Lithuanian music industry and has their own circle of fans. It is especially an honor that they are also VILNIUS TECH students. After their performances – the most awaited eccentric Beissoul & Einius duet concert. These performers always surprise the audience with their unique style, music and fantasy, so we expect a unique performance at the New Year's Evening concert!
Fireworks will be replaced by drones.
"We are a university of technology, so we try to creatively integrate technology into the entertainment activities of the university. We also follow the principles of sustainability in our studies and activities, therefore this time instead of festive fireworks, which are common at New Year's Eve, but are also harmful to the environment, we have chosen an alternative - a drone light show ", - says Ilma Cikanaitė about the special festive effects of the event.
"Participants of the event will be able to see a unique flashmob of 100 synchronized illuminated drones. To create this unique spectacle, to synchronize and at the same time control a hundred drones – will be used complex programs which require special skills and specific knowledge ”- presents „Light a Sky“ Technology Director and Antanas Gustaitis Aviation Institute Associate Professor dr.
