Summer Solstice Party
Pioneer Works invites our supporters to celebrate the longest day of the year with food by LEV and a special musical performance by our June Music Resident Yumi Kurosawa. A DJ set from Chances With Wolves will round out the evening.

About LEV
Growing up in Galilee and Jerusalem respectively, Loren and Daniel have long been inspired by Israel’s melting pot of culinary backgrounds and the rich mix of culinary immigrant traditions. In this sense, food has always been imbued with a deeper sense of memory and emotion. Loren and Daniel prefer to cook in different locations, adapting the food to fit the setting. Whether that’s outside in a field, in a reclaimed warehouse, or the intimate setting of the home, guests receive genuine food to match a unique experience.
