Entry to the event is granted with the purchase of a Railway Museum ticket. Before the concert, we invite you to visit the museum as well.

On February 27th, the Railway Museum will open its doors to cinema and jazz – the silent film classic The General will be accompanied live by the masters of the Lithuanian jazz scene – pianist Dmitrijus Golovanovas and percussionist Arkadijus Gotesmanas.

The General is an action-comedy film created in 1926 by the famous actor and director Buster Keaton, based on real events. During the American Civil War, train engineer Johnnie Gray embarks on an adventurous journey to recover his stolen beloved locomotive, The General. Buster Keaton, who stars in the leading role, masterfully combines the comedy genre with incredible cinematic tricks for the time. The General is often regarded as one of the greatest silent films in the history of cinema.

The film will be accompanied live by jazz music fans' favorites, Dmitrijus Golovanovas and Arkadijus Gotesmanas.

Dmitrijus Golovanovas is one of the brightest and most active jazz pianists in Lithuania, known for his intellectual and expressive playing style, as well as his stunning sense of time and space. With a deep understanding of the jazz language and a cultivated taste, Dmitrijus brings uniqueness and vibrancy to the music he performs. Mixing precision in classical jazz with contemporary interpretations, he creates an enchanting and complex harmony.

Arkadijus Gotesmanas, one of Lithuania's most creative percussionists, is hard to fit into a single genre – he plays jazz, contemporary academic music, and creates musical performances and installations. His versatility, technique, and sense of rhythm generate an extraordinary musical energy.

For one evening, the Railway Museum hall will unite cinema, music, and, of course, trains.
