Experience Avi Avital live on August 11th

Avi Avital will perform at the Palau Solterra Museum in Torroella de Montgrí, Spain on August 11, 2026. Avital is an Israeli mandolin virtuoso renowned for expanding the instrument’s repertoire beyond its traditional classical and folk origins. His performances frequently incorporate arrangements of works originally composed for violin or other instruments, alongside contemporary pieces written specifically for him, demonstrating a commitment to showcasing the mandolin’s versatility within a broader musical context. He is known for a dynamic and expressive playing style that blends technical precision with emotional depth.

The Palau Solterra Museum is housed within a restored 14th-century castle, originally part of the fortified town of Torroella de Montgrí. The castle played a significant role in defending the Empordà region during periods of conflict between Catalonia and France. Designated a *Bien Cultural d'Interès Nacional* (National Cultural Asset of Interest) by the Catalan government, the Palau underwent extensive restoration work completed in 2015, transforming it into a museum dedicated to the history and archaeology of the area. The museum’s architecture itself provides a unique historical backdrop for cultural events like this concert, blending medieval structure with modern conservation efforts.
