The new edition of the classical music festival Nits Clàssiques de la Tramuntana pays homage to Patrick Meadows (1934-2017) and Stephanie Shepard (1940-2005). This couple of artists – he jazz musician and poet and she singer - settled in Deià in 1978, refuge in those years of artists from all fields: from Robert Graves to Mati Clarwein to Kevin Ayers and other names of the London psychedelic scene of the moment.
A few years later, Patrick Meadows and Stephanie Shepard founded the Deià International Music Festival, which is now directed by Alfredo Oyágüez.
Nits Clàssiques de la Tramuntana is held every Sunday from July 23to August 27 in the Church of Deià with six concerts by Ensemble Watteau, Ensemble Tramuntana, Trio Rondalla and Trio Aquarel·la.
