The origins of the LMTA big band date back to the 1980s, when Vladimiras Čekasinas gathered all those who wanted to play jazz into an orchestra at the jazz studio of the Lithuanian State Conservatory. Since then, the big band has been led by both Liudas Mockūnas and Dimitrijus Golovanovs. In 2015, Tomas Dičiūnas became the leader. In 2022, the first vinyl was released. The big band strives to perform a variety of modern music, actively participates in jazz festivals together with the most famous Lithuanian musicians, and organizes solo concerts. The members of the big band are already well-known on the Lithuanian stage, many of them perform with their own original projects.
