Juozas Indra (1918-1968) has secured his place in the history of Lithuanian music as opera soloist, conductor and composer. Despite the fact, that his ballet "Audronė" and program symphony "City of Ruins" are considered his most popular compositions, arrangements of Lithuanian folk songs, where he continued tradition of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, Stasys Šimkus, and Juozas Gruodis, comprise the most substantial part of his output. He also wrote music for several films, theatre plays, a number of works for various instrumental ensembles, although most of them survive as fragments or different variants.
