About the event
EN:
On May 1st at 7 p.m., the art and sound space "Friends' Names" will host a preview of the album "Queen of the Night" by experimental vocal trio Edgy Palates.
The album Queen of the Night is an alternative musical narrative in which famous opera heroines escape the framework of traditional tragedies. In this album, the band Edgy Palates not only reinterprets well-known classic works, but also rethinks the stories of three strong women who experience love differently - the Queen of the Night, Cio Cio San and Carmen.
The sound world of this album is a unique journey. "Edgy Palates" transforms well-known classical music: works by Mozart, Puccini, Bizet, Schubert, Dvarionas and Šimkus are intertwined with elements of dance and heavy music. These are not just recompositions, they are sonic processing that gives old melodies a new, contemporary pulse.
We invite you to enjoy quality sound, stay with us and share your impressions!
During the event, you will also be able to pre-order a vinyl copy of the album "Queen of the Night".
Doors: 7:00 PM
We start the listening process: 19:30
The event is free.
The release of the digital album "Queen of the Night" is supported by AGATA
The vinyl release is partially supported by LATGA
Friends' names are partially supported by Vilnius City Municipality

On May 1st at 7 PM at the art and sound space "Draugu vardai": pre-listening party for the experimental vocal trio Edgy Palates' album "Queen of the Night".
The album "Queen of the Night" is an alternative musical narrative in which well-known opera heroines break free from the traditional frameworks of tragedy. In this album, the trio Edgy Palates not only reinterprets well-known classical pieces but also reimagines the stories of three powerful women who experience love in very different ways – the Queen of the Night, Cio-Cio San, and Carmen.
The soundscape of this album is a kind of journey. Edgy Palates transforms well-known classical music: works by Mozart, Puccini, Bizet, Schubert, Dvarionas, and Šimkus are combined with elements of dance and heavy music.
