ACADEMY SPOTLIGHT III
Academy soloists
As part of the Academy’s 21C Artist Curriculum, participants collaborate to curate, produce, and perform recitals that engage and inspire new audiences. Whether conceived as fundraising events, outreach initiatives, or creative introductions to classical music, these ‘Spotlight Concerts’ encourage teamwork among musicians and explore what makes a performance truly compelling. Several of these concerts are presented at the Verbier Cinema throughout the Festival.
