Axis Mundi organizer Hugo Rampen shares vision for new Revelstoke festival
Hugo Rampen is the director behind the new Revelstoke Axis Mundi festivals, which starts with the Axis Mundi Harvest festival September 18–20 featuring Ashley MacIsaac as the biggest name announced so far.
The Revelstoke Mountaineer explored the new festival in this Mar. 26 story.
This week, we sat down with director Hugo Rampen, who joins the new Revelstoke festival offering after many years in charge of the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues festival.
Rampen talked about the vision for the festival, which is much more than just a live music show. Multi-venue performances are planned for downtown Revelstoke, for example. Rampen plans to integrate outdoor adventure, culture, environmental themes and community-driven initiatives into a cutting edge overall festival package.
The fall Axis Mundi Harvest festival is one of two; the spring Axis Mundi Solstice will have a slightly different take.
The Mountaineer sat with Rampen for this audio interview below on April 21, where he elaborated on his plans, and talked about his deep background as a music organizer.
