About
The Joniškis Cultural Center, together with the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theater, is organizing for the first time an international vocal soloist (bass) competition named after Vaclovas Daunoras in his native land, the Joniškis district.
Vaclovas Daunoras (1937–2020) is one of the best Lithuanian singers in the world. A charismatic bass born in Žagarė, he was a visionary who did not fit into the Lithuanian theater of that time.
