Roe Deers - Roe Deers & Midsummer Vilnius Festival Orchestra (2025)

More than just a concert, this vinyl captures a bold musical experiment that lit up the summer of 2024 in the Grand Courtyard of the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania.
A singular project by the Midsummer Vilnius festival, Roe Deer Orchestra brought together conductor Modestas Pitrėnas, composer Jievaras Jasinskis, and electronic music producer/DJ Liudas Lazauskas beneath the starlit Old Town sky.
This limited-edition record features 10 carefully selected live recordings that reflect the key creative phases of Roe Deers’ musical journey, reimagined with lush orchestral instrumentation. Blending electronic pulse with symphonic textures, the performance revealed new emotional depths and sonic landscapes in Roe Deers’ work. The release also includes a special live collaboration with C.A.R., recorded during this unforgettable night.
