Artist training is at the core of the Verbier Festival’s mission. Its Academy and Orchestra Programmes have launched the careers of many of today’s leading soloists, chamber musicians, singers, orchestral players, and conductors. The recent addition of an audio recording programme further enhances the Festival’s offerings for aspiring music entrepreneurs.
