ACADEMY PRESENTS II

Singers of the Verbier Festival Academy’s Atelier Lyrique perform this always popular recital of opera arias with the head of the Atelier’s opera programme, pianist Caroline Dowdle. An opportunity to hear the best of the new generation of emerging opera stars.

Accomplished singers and instrumentalists of the Verbier Academy's Atelier Lyrique and Soloists & Ensembles programme join forces in a captivating vocal chamber recital. This popular concert not only presents the remarkable talents of these performers but also shines a spotlight on some of the most captivating yet often underappreciated chamber music repertoire.

The Verbier Festival Academy has helped launch some of today’s leading chamber music ensembles, including the Calidore, Arod, and Ébène Quartets, as well as Trio Concept, the 2024 Prix Yves Paternot Laureate. The Academy’s 2025 ensemble in residence joins its soloists in chamber music formation for this recital, the culmination of two weeks of intense collaboration and artistic exploration in Verbier.

After more than two weeks of intensive rehearsals and concerts, the pianists, violinists, violists, and cellists of the Verbier Festival Academy’s Soloists Programme come together for a chamber music recital. This concert celebrates the passion and talent of these young artists, marking the beginning of the Festival’s final weekend.

A fitting moment to celebrate the young talents of the Verbier Festival Academy. In this final recital, the pianists, violinists, violists, and cellists of the Soloists Programme come together one last time to share their artistry. The recital is followed by the presentation of the Academy awards, honoring their hard work and accomplishments during the Festival.
