Step into the world of Maurice Béjart through the powerful vision of Julien Favreau, the new artistic director of Béjart Ballet Lausanne. This highly anticipated production reflects on the company’s rich legacy (featuring the iconic Stravinsky’s Firebird), while offering a fresh perspective on its future. A deeply moving and cathartic experience.
20.07 Klaus Mäkelä Yunchan Lim Verbier Festival Orchestra
Two of today’s most electrifying talents unite on stage: Klaus Mäkelä, a visionary conductor, and Yunchan Lim, the remarkable pianist and latest Van Cliburn Gold Medalist. Together, they bring a programme of dazzling contrasts, from the rich lyricism of Rachmaninoff to the fiery brilliance of Stravinsky’s Firebird.
An Evgeny Kissin recital is always an occasion to remember. A towering figure of the piano, he presents a programme spanning his most beloved repertoire, from Bach to Shostakovich, with Chopin at its heart. Experience the artistry, virtuosity, and deep passion of one of the world’s greatest pianists.
Minsoo Sohn dedicated years to exploring Beethoven’s complete sonatas, culminating in his acclaimed recording for Sony Classical. At Verbier, he performs the composer’s final three sonatas—monumental works that push the boundaries of piano music—offering a rare chance to hear them through one of today’s leading Beethoven interpreters.
Klaus Mäkelä, Daniel Lozakovich, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, Timothy Ridout, Blythe Teh Engstroem, Mao Fujita, Marc Bouchkov, Johan Dalene, Amanda Håøy Horn: here is an exceptional line-up for this Rencontre Inédite, so emblematic of chamber music in Verbier. The programme includes two masterpieces of Romantic music, with quintets by Saint-Saëns and Schumann.
Discovered at Verbier in 2012 shortly after winning the Tchaikovsky Competition (at just 21 years old), the spectacular Daniil Trifonov has since built an exemplary career worldwide. It’s a great joy to welcome him back with this recital featuring Tchaikovsky, Chopin’s Waltzes, and Barber’s stunning Sonata.
Since his time as a Verbier Festival Academy student in 2018, Mao Fujita has captivated audiences with his depth and sensitivity. Now a major voice of his generation, he returns to perform a spectacular programme devoted to the Preludes of Chopin and Scriabin—music that perfectly showcases his poetic touch and effortless virtuosity.
Bryn Terfel brings his unmistakable charisma to Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi, while Ludovic Tézier, Yulia Matochkina and Freddie De Tommaso shine in Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana. An evening of high drama and unforgettable music.
Festival favourites Leonidas Kavakos, Antoine Tamestit, and Gautier Capuçon join forces with the brilliant Mao Fujita for a Rencontre Inédite. The programme includes Beethoven’s Trio No. 3 Op. 9, No. 1 and Brahms’s monumental Piano Quartet No. 2.
The highlight of our tribute to Shostakovich, Evgeny Kissin has crafted a fascinating programme showcasing the stylistic diversity of the Russian genius: Cello Sonata with Mischa Maisky, Piano Quintet with the Quatuor Ébène, Concertino for Two Pianos with Martha Argerich and the Viola Sonata with Antoine Tamestit. A truly unmissable evening!
