Berklee Valencia presents Berklee a Les Arts: Ritual of the Swan, inspired by Richard Wagner’s opera, Lohengrin.
Ritual of the Swan explores the atmospheric and introspective sound of Northern European jazz and its connections to myths and legends such as the Swan Knight, the Lorelei, and "Parzival." The repertoire brings together music by artists including Jan Garbarek, and Esbjörn Svensson Trio, alongside influences from contemporary musicians such as Maeve Gilchrist. Under the musical direction of Albert Palau and the artistic direction of Magdalini Giannikou, the project explores the contradictions of human desire: our fascination with that which lies beyond our existence, and how, as we draw closer to it, it loses its magic.
Tickets will be available soon at Les Arts website for 7 euros.
