Monument to composer M.Petrauskas
The author of the first Lithuanian opera “Birutė”, composer Mikas Petrauskas, was born in Palūšė. Maybe it was his father’s influence - who played on the organ in the Palūšė church, or maybe his mother’s - who taught him to look for inspiration in nature, but Mikas fell in love with music from early childhood. He wrote: ”Music heals, music consoles and gives strength to your soul, rest to your brain, music cleans your thoughts”. A monument by the sculptor J.Kėdainis to this beloved Lithuanian composer was built in Palūšė on the composer’s 100 year anniversary in 1973.
