The institution's primary objective is to facilitate the implementation of projects that advance culture, education, and social communication.   A key part of this mission is establishing and fostering a network of international contacts, promoting the exchange of ideas and experiences among professionals in the field. Moreover, the institution actively seeks to forge new partnerships between Lithuanian and international cultural organisations, underscoring its collaborative nature.

In pursuit of its objectives, the institution MUSICA VITALE organises a diverse range of events.

This variety of events reflects the institution's commitment to promoting culture, education, and social communication.
