Valmiermuiža invites you to the most ambitious ethnomusical event in Latvia

Valmiermuiža Ethnomusic Festival will gather excellent soloists and ethnomusic bands from Latvia, Italy, Norway and Ukraine on two stages, offering one of the most exciting music festivals this summer. A musical adventure – traditional, meditative, postmodern, rock and ethno-disco. Festival will offer:

• local Jauno Jāņu Orķestris, whose work is characterized by human inner adventures and sweet irony, interchanged with the most ambiguous episodes of Latvian folklore,
• Torgeir Vassvik’s band will travel from the far north, representing the ancient Sami people and their musical roots with an archaic and rock-concert sound,
• currently the best taranta music band from Italy, Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, will draw everyone into a whirlwind of dance together with skilled Italian dancers,
• the musical fighting spirit of the folk-rock band Joryj Kloc from Ukraine, which makes folk songs entirely modern by adding powerful music,
• Latvian artists who will represent traditional singing and dark folk, as well as a completely meditative sound,
• after the live music program, everyone will be greeted by the ethno-disco duo – Dīvs Reiznieks and Kaspars Zaviļeiskis, who will offer their favourite world music until the last dancer.

Magical fire sculpture by a Spanish artist and a circus performance, sustainable workshops, calm and restless lounges, theatre, cinema and exhibition – the festival promises a creative experience and a great atmosphere for the whole family! The theme of the festival in 2023 is “opposites attract” to highlight the desired – in art, culinary, architecture, landscape and human relationship. Let’s look at opposites not as irreconcilable contrasts, but as an opportunity to give life colours, diversity and meaning.
