On June 23rd and 24th, the night of the traditional summer solstice celebration in Catalonia, Tavertet welcomes the second edition of A Rite of Summer, the festival organized by the Laboratory of Contemplative Arts (LAC), a haven for artistic creation and thought linked to the Buddhist retreat center Casa Virupa. Including performing arts, music, and masterclasses, the festival will showcase notable international figures such as Avishai Cohen (trumpeter), Shai Maestro, and Ganavya.
The festival features a contemporary, diverse, and experimental musical lineup, with luminaries from the contemporary jazz and European improvised music scenes, such as Indian singer and composer Ganavya, internationally celebrated jazz pianist Shai Maestro, trumpeter Avishai Cohen, regarded as one of the greatest active trumpet players, and Norwegian producer and musician Jan Bang. It will also present a piece on contemplative art that brings together poets, musicians, and a dancer, and a theatrical work reflecting on the link between art and politics. The entire artistic program will take place during the morning, afternoon, and evening of June 23rd, which will also offer a gastronomic experience at Horta de Virupa.
