LA VIE EN ROSE 2.0 | Concert

2026

On May 21, singer and songwriter Aušrinė Apanavičiūtė, together with pianist Alvydas Pociūnas, invites you to an elegant and romantic evening of French chansons at Raudondvaris Manor.

Alongside well-known and audience-favorite pieces from the repertoires of the legendary Édith Piaf, Joe Dassin, and Dalida, the performers have also prepared a surprise.

In the palace known as the “Manor of Love” in the Kaunas district, on May 21 the audience will have a unique opportunity to witness an international premiere. It is one of the songs by Henri Betti, who became world-famous thanks to his composition “C’est si bon.”

The famous “C’est si bon,” which has been translated into more than twenty different languages and popularized by American trumpet virtuoso and singer Louis Armstrong, will also delight the audience on May 21 under the vaulted hall of Raudondvaris Castle, performed by Aušrinė Apanavičiūtė with piano accompaniment by Alvydas Pociūnas.

You are warmly invited!

Aušrinė Apanavičiūtė – a singer, songwriter, and international competition laureate, graduated in vocal studies from Middlesex University (BA Hons) and later obtained a diploma from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. Apanavičiūtė performs in Lithuanian, French, English, Italian, Spanish, and German, and also sings sacred music in Latin. Her latest original work, “I Lift My Eyes To The Mountains,”—already available on Spotify and iTunes—was recorded in collaboration with BBC, ITV, and Channel 4 producer and sound engineer Emmett Glynn.
