Get ready for a dazzling swing night with The Ditties and pianist Dmitrij Golovanov! On July 24 at the Nida Jazz Marathon, the brightest gems of the swing era will come to life-surprising even the most discerning listeners. Like true musical alchemists, The Ditties blend old and new, infusing each song with a distinctive, breathtaking vitality. Step into a musical journey through time, feel the magic of the swing era, and experience the irresistible charm and professionalism of The Ditties.
The Ditties are the only professional retro jazz and swing vocal trio in Lithuania, performing since 2011. Their mission is to nurture and celebrate swing and jazz culture in Lithuania. Inspired by the music of 1930s America—when songs uplifted spirits during times of hardship and inspired joy and hope-the trio revives that same vibrant energy on stage. With stylistic precision, elegance, and emotional depth, they authentically recreate the sound and spirit of classic female vocal ensembles of the era.
On stage, Veronika Čičinskaitė-Golovanova, Rūta Švipaitė-Pocė, and Rūta Jakulytė transform into true queens of swing-captivating audiences with their refined style, feminine charm, and radiant musical optimism. Their artistry is also captured in their releases: the debut album The Ditties (2016), the vinyl Christmas Swing (2019), the album Estrada (2021), and their upcoming original music album Gera gyventi (2026).
