100 Years of Diplomatic Relations
The 100-year anniversary for Denmark’s official recognition of the Baltic States, and the diplomatic relations between the countries were celebrated. Historical conferences and concerts were held with both Baltic and Danish musicians (among others violinist Christina Åstrand) in the respective countries. Additionally, our patron H.R.H. Crown Princess Mary of Denmark visited Lithuania and together with the First Lady of Lithuania, they opened the exhibition “Awakening of Nations” with key works from the Danish Golden Age. During the visit, the Danish-Baltic String Quartet played a concert with compositions from Denmark and the Baltic States. The events were developed with the Danish Embassies, and music academies in the Baltics, Lithuanian National Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Denmark, and Latvia National Library.
