Avi Avital live in Rheinfelden

Experience Avi Avital live on August 8th

Avi Avital is scheduled to perform at Inseli, Rheinfelden, Switzerland on August 8, 2026. Avital is an Israeli classical mandolinist renowned for expanding the instrument’s repertoire and establishing it as a solo concert instrument. His performances typically blend Baroque, contemporary, and traditional Jewish musical influences, often featuring newly commissioned works alongside transcriptions of pieces originally written for other instruments. He is known for a virtuosic technique and a dynamic stage presence.

Inseli is a historically significant open-air venue located in Rheinfelden, situated where the Rhine River forms the border between Switzerland and Germany. Originally constructed as a water castle in the Middle Ages – first documented in 1271 – it underwent several transformations over the centuries. The site served various purposes including a mill and eventually fell into disrepair before being restored as a cultural space beginning in the 1980s. Today, Inseli hosts a diverse range of events including concerts, theatre performances and festivals, capitalizing on its unique riverside location and historical atmosphere. The venue's acoustics are considered particularly well-suited to chamber music and solo instrumental performances due to its natural surroundings and carefully designed stage area.
