Lithuania declared its independence from the former Soviet Union 25 years ago. We’ll talk about that moment in history with Vytautas Landsbergis. He was Lithuania’s first head-of-state after independence. He’ll share what he remembers about that historic time and what he views as the current threat from Russia. Landsbergis is also a professor of music. He’ll perform for us and discuss how music and the arts factor into Lithuanian identity. PHOTO: Vytautas Landsbergis (Wikimedia Commons)
