'FRÖST INTERLACED'

Martin Fröst has been a regular guest at the Verbier Festival for almost twenty years. He has surrounded himself with artists with unique personalities, such as MILOŠ, Marc Bouchkov and Anastasia Kobekina, and offers a programme full of surprises and imagination, from Bach to Lutoslawski... and much more besides!

Programme

Works by Bach, Brahms, Lutosławski…

He is the face of the clarinet worldwide, and one of the most striking personalities in the contemporary music world: Martin Fröst, winner of the Léonie Sonning Music Prize alongside, for instance, Igor Stravinsky and Sir Simon Rattle, has also been artist-in-residence at institutions as prestigious as Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, and has been one of the Verbier Festival’s most loyal and appreciated musicians for many years. From the celestial asceticism of Johann Sebastian Bach to the heroic madness of Lutoslawski, via the springtime joy of Brahms, Martin Fröst builds an intimate and very personal reflection around his instrument and his activity as a concert performer. And he has surrounded himself with hand-picked personalities who are close to his heart and have played an important part in his development as an artist: guitarist MILOŠ, whose appetite for the most varied of repertoires could not fail to satisfy Fröst’s devouring curiosity; Marc Bouchkov, whose imaginative fantasy is matched only by that of the clarinet master; and Anastasia Kobekina, the revelation of the last decade.
