The aim of the article is to explore the processes in musical culture and specific musical repertoire that expressed a certain form of a national/political act and had a powerful effect in the context of certain political events that changed the status of Lithuania as a country in the first decades of the 20th century. The setting up of various forms of national manifestation started after 7 May 1904 when the ban on the press was lifted. The historical overview focuses on the so-called Lithuanian Evenings that were held in the Lithuanian pre-independence years and made a great influence in the formation of professional Lithuanian theatre. The first events started at the end of the 19th century as legal evenings outside Lithuania and secret events inside the country. In St. Petersburg, Riga, Lithuania Minor, or USA, the evenings were organized by the amateur theatre troupes of Lithuanian emigrants. After 1904, the Lithuanian evenings entered the next stage as they were legalized and became public inside Lithuanian territories and their number significantly increased. Besides one or two plays (performances) the evening programme often included a musical part (e.g. a choir concert) with its specific musical repertoire. The historical overview is based on the study and information collection from archival materials (posters, programme leaflets) and announcements in the Lithuanian press.
