June 25, 2024 – Gran(i)Tour in Beuerlbach, with a visit to grain experiments + Jug Band Colline Metallifere live

After a day off, where we had the opportunity of visiting the Bauer recording studios in Ludwigsburg, Germany, the Gran(i)Tour, starts its second half, with the most “rural” event of all our mission.

From 7.30PM it will be possible to visit Reiner Schmidt’s farm in Beuerlbach, North-East of Stuttgart. Here you may see different types of experimental grains on which four local families have been working for years.

The Jug Band Colline Metallifere performance will follow the site visit (around 9PM).

Pending a full report about the Gran(i)Tour, you can check out a few moments of the tour from the JBCM Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/jugbandcm/. For more information: micalosapevo@pibinko.org or +393317539228
