Festival

With great excitement we announce our eleventh edition, which opens a new phase with fresh projects and horizons for Labyrinth Catalunya. After celebrating our successful tenth edition in 2025, we felt that a chapter had come to an end: for some time now, we’ve been wishing to bring the festival to a natural environment that can welcome all of us—students, teachers, and the whole festival team—where we can not only enjoy seminars, concerts and music, but also a calmer daily rhythm, with the time and space offered by being closer to nature.

For this reason, this year the festival will take place at Fundació La Plana (Santa Maria d’Oló, Barcelona), a cooperative project that for many years has been fostering synergies and hosting artistic, cultural projects, and activities centered around personal growth. With this change of location, aligned with our shared values and our desire to collaborate with La Plana, our intention is to settle in a space that respects the pace required for workshop immersion, and for the collective atmosphere that  is created during the event. At the same time, La Plana offers comfortable and well-maintained facilities that ease the logistics-side of the festival, and contribute to everyone’s wellbeing. All this with the aim of continuing to build networks and working towards a greater artistic and human quality within the festival. In this regard, we will continue our collaboration with the town of Cardedeu and its city council, offering concerts and training sessions throughout the year, which we hope to announce soon.

This year the festival will take place over two separate periods: one in spring and another in autumn. Each period will include four simultaneous workshops and at least one concert at Fundació La Plana. In line with previous years, we will host a wide range of musical traditions and instrumentation, also keeping an eye on offering new proposals. 

During the spring period we will feature two of our regular Labyrinth teachers, Evgenios Voulgaris and Avgerini Gatsi, and we’ll invite two admired musicians: the Catalan percussionist and multi-instrumentalist Miriam Encinas Laffitte, and the Palestinian oud player based in Sweden, Ahmad Al Khatib.

In addition to the seminars, this 11th spring edition will also host special concerts both at La Plana and in Cardedeu, which we will announce very soon.
