first headliners
We can’t wait to reveal the programme for this edition. That’s why we’re bringing you these headliners now, to get you in the mood for two days of Walden Festival.
Saturday 16 July will have an Arabic-Andalusian vibe. That evening, oud-virtuoso Rabih Abouh-Kahlil, together with Mateusz Smoczynski (violin) and Jarrod Cagwin (percussion), will bring jazz and eastern music together in a sizzling combination. The Mediterranean Youth Orchestra and soprano Claron McFadden, under the direction of Fabrizio Cassol, will then take you on a musical odyssey – direct from the Aix-en-Provence Festival.
On Sunday 17 July, we take you on a musical adventure. The new BRYGGEN string orchestra performs a programme in which classical and folk reach out to each other, with Grieg’s Holbergsuite, Arvo Pärt’s meditative Summa and sprightly folk music. You may remember jazz-saxophonist Robin Verheyen’s guest appearance alongside Branford Marsalis at Klarafestival 2022. He now returns with his own quartet and his compelling Bach Riddles. For the adventurous, we have the cutting edge Manchester Collective with Steve Reich’s Double Sextet and futuristic folk from Lyra Pramuk. And of course we once again have an irresistible family route.
