A round table discussion of all festival participants is expected on May 11th, while on May 12th the authors will visit Jelgava secondary schools. The "PAGE BREAK" festival will end on May 13th with a special poetry concert in which all the festival guests will participate, reading their works accompanied by improvised modern jazz music.
