The Lithuanian anthem will be sung around the world to mark the millennium of Lithuania
On the 5th of July, 2009, the yacht Ambersail LTU 1000 will return to Lithuania, having circumnavigated the globe on a mission to invite the world’s Lithuanians to gather for the millennium celebrations. The yacht has visited 26 Lithuanian communities worldwide, returning on the eve of the anniversary of the coronation of Mindaugas, to announce together with all the world’s Lithuanians that we are united under one name – Lithuania.
At 9 PM (EEST/GMT +3) on the 5th of July we, the international Lithuanian community, in our homeland or scattered around the world, shall be together in our thoughts and words. We shall sing together the most precious song for each and every Lithuanian – the Lithuanian anthem, „Tautišką giesmė“. This will be our way to announce proudly to the whole world that the name of Lithuania is one thousand years old!

Despite the time differences and distances that separate us, we will perform the song that is of profound importance to us all. Each and every Lithuanian will sing following the rhythm of his heart, in his own surroundings, along with his nearest and dearest, the way he knows best. We believe that singing the Lithuanian anthem together in all five continents will consolidate the celebration of our anniversary. This will serve as living proof that, on her millennium anniversary, Lithuania’s name is known and heard around the world. For the first time in history, people of one country will recite their national anthem simultaneously.
Recordings of the Lithuanian anthem performed by Lithuanian communities will be collected from all around the home country and the communities abroad. These unique videos of the anthem, performed in many different countries, will be merged into one “Tautiška giesmė” video that will be aired on the 6th of July.
Experiencing the joy of togetherness, we will celebrate this milestone with pride and enthusiasm. Lithuania will reach around the world. This will be a day worth a thousand years, as we come together under one name – Lithuania.
