For the first time last year, the Verbier Festival launched a Jukebox: an immersive audiovisual space dedicated to the treasures of its archives. Every day at 5:30 PM, our editorial team has selected a concert that pays tribute to an iconic Festival artist.

Since his triumph at the Van Cliburn Competition in 2022, Yunchan Lim has become a global piano phenomenon. Identified early by the Verbier Festival, he will once again perform this year alongside his mentor, Minsoo Sohn, interpreting Mozart’s Concerto for Two Pianos. In the second half, Lahav Shani will conduct Bruckner’s magnificent Symphony No. 7, certainly one of his favorite works, as evidenced by his recording of the piece released on Warner, already regarded as a reference by critics.

Open rehearsal. Since his triumph at the Van Cliburn Competition in 2022, Yunchan Lim has become a global piano phenomenon. Spotted early on by the Verbier Festival, he returns this year alongside his mentor, Minsoo Sohn, to perform Mozart's Concerto for Two Pianos. In the second half, Lahav Shani will conduct Bruckner's grandiose Symphony No. 7—certainly a favorite in his repertoire, as evidenced by his Warner recording of the work, already considered a benchmark by critics.

Piano superstar Yunchan Lim, only 21 years old, delves into Medtner’s universe with his monumental Piano Quintet, bringing together the finest musicians of his generation (Lozakovich, So, Ridout, Soltani). In the first half, clarinetist Pierre Génisson will explore the full lyrical genius of Bruch with his Eight Pieces for clarinet, viola, and piano.

First recital at the Salle des Combins, following his triumphs at the Église (those historic Goldberg Variations in 2025!) for Yunchan Lim. A worldwide phenomenon — and rightfully so — as this young artist moves us deeply with his sound. Schubert's luminous "Gasteiner" Sonata opens the evening with joyous exuberance and irresistible vitality. In the second half, three Scriabin sonatas: the "Fantasy" Sonata, the "gothic" Sonata No. 3 nicknamed "States of Soul", and the radiant Fourth which he described as "man's flight towards the star, symbol of happiness".
