29.12.2020 — VF AT HOME : Our Best of 2020 …
Social distancing measures couldn’t stop the Verbier Festival’s commitment to connect artists and audiences during the unprecedented challenges we all faced in 2020. As music-lovers around the world stayed at home to work, self-isolated and looked after their families, VF at Home aimed to bring comfort, solidarity and some relief in trying times. Here are three of our favourite VF at Home posts from the past year.
