The Verbier Festival has been life-changing for a whole generation of artists. Verbier Generation Stories is a series of interviews, discussions and exchanges between musicians who have made their start at Verbier, and self-described ‘radio guy’, Charles Sigel.

In part one of the fourth episode in our Verbier Generation series, cellist Lionel Cottet looks back at the start of his musical career, including his formative years as a student in the Verbier Festival Academy’s Soloist and VFO programmes. Recorded in summer 2020 in Geneva.
