ENThe information on various shows accompanied with the sounds of music published in the 18th century periodicals is reviewed. That information specifies and replenishes historiographic news, reveals some social and cultural life aspects, makes it possible to localize the music life centres - thus the music culture of both nations is unfolded. The periodicals carry the announcements of three distinct kinds associated with lay, ecclesiastical and socio-political events. Brief, laconic information carried in Polish newspapers is supplemented with significant material with an intention to know separate elements of Lithuanian music of the 18th century. It is noted that the first Lithuanian newspaper was published only in 1905. The conclusion is drawn that Lithuanian Music life of the 18th century was dynamic and fairly democratic. The lack of professionalism, genre variety was determined by unfavourable political conditions.
