It couldn’t be a more spectacular lineup to launch the 20th-anniversary celebrations of the VFCO!

A Slavic-inspired program conducted by the Hungarian maestro Gábor Takács-Nagy, featuring Dvořák’s celebrated New World Symphony — a landmark work that so vividly evokes the discovery of America in its time. Before that, Mao Fujita will perform the orchestral version of Mozart’s Variations on “Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman”. A guaranteed moment of tenderness!

The second concert conducted by the fascinating Simon Rattle, this time leading the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra, featuring one of his favorite repertoires, Bartók, with Bluebeard’s Castle. A powerful and magnificent work performed by two outstanding singers: Magdalena Kožená and Gerald Finley.

The Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, surrounded by some of its dearest musical friends: Martha Argerich, Lahav Shani, VFCO Music Director Gábor Takács-Nagy and friends.

Tickets for this concert are complimentary and guaranteed for all ticket holders of the Simon Rattle, Magdalena Kožená and Gerald Finley concert on 24 July at 18:30. A waitlist is also available if you wish to attend the anniversary concert only.

An emblematic work of Brahms’ genius, the Double Concerto captivates with its richness and virtuosity, here brought to life by the bows of Janine Jansen and Daniel Blendulf. Then comes another Romantic masterpiece, conducted by the charismatic Nikolaj Znaider: Schumann’s Rhenish Symphony, composed in tribute to German heritage.

An original and unconventional program is offered here by the magician Mikhail Pletnev, bringing together the finest of 19th-century Romantic Europe. Rarely heard works precede Schumann’s Violin Concerto, probably one of the most demanding in the repertoire, sublimely performed by the exceptional Daniel Lozakovich.

Superstar Renée Fleming returns to Verbier! She offers an immersive experience, blending her voice with stunning imagery from the National Geographic Society.
Through romantic and contemporary works accompanied by film, this programme explores the beauty and fragility of nature while highlighting humanity’s impact on the environment.
