Yilian Cañizares Quintet

Galilee Quartet

LookSeeGo Street Band

Afro-Cuban rhythm meets Brazilian swing at altitude. For our final concert at La Chaux this summer, violinist and vocalist Yilian Cañizares leads her quintet in a set that’s all about movement — open, bold, and full of spark. The Verbier Festival Academy’s Galilee Quartet joins in for a one-off collaboration shaped by groove, freedom, and connection. Before the main act takes the stage, LookSeeGo Street Band leads the way with a roaming brass explosion that sets the mountain in motion. No ticket needed — just bring your loose hips and get your groove on.

Food and drink available on-site.
