What an emotion to discover the new Verbier Festival programme
And I realize it’s impossible to mention only a few artists here—let alone all of them. So here is a friendly, entirely subjective selection, not based on the musicians themselves but on the tastes of those close to me (they will recognize themselves, I hope): Alexandre Kantorow on July 30, Nicolas Altstaedt’s cello masterclasses between the 22nd and 25th, Renée Fleming’s masterclass on the 30th, the Cesaria Evora Orchestra, Lucas Debargue on the 20th, Khatia Buniatishvili on the 22nd, and, on the 23rd the concert bringing together Daniel Harding, Joshua Bell, and Bryn Terfel… Nothing but joy ahead.
