Rencontres Inédites V
Leonidas Kavakos | Antoine Tamestit | Gautier Capuçon | Mao Fujita
The young Mao Fujita joined by the experienced Leonidas Kavakos, Antoine Tamestit, and Gautier Capuçon—that’s what makes this fifth Rencontres Inédites programme so exciting. At its heart is Brahms’s monumental Second Piano Quartet, following a first half featuring Beethoven’s String Trio No. 3 in G major, Op. 9 No. 1. Don’t wait—only a few seats remain!
Boris Brovtsyn | Johan Dalene | Janine Jansen
Blythe Teh Engstroem | Lawrence Power | Timothy Ridout | Máté Szücs
Daniel Blendulf | Sheku Kanneh-Mason | Klaus Mäkelä
A remarkable combination of string sextets comes together for this Rencontre Inédite, showcasing two iconic masterpieces of their time. Brahms’s Sextet No. 1, Op. 18, often called the Spring Sextet, captivates with its stylistic perfection. Following this, Verklärte Nacht reveals the brilliance of a young Schoenberg, announcing his creative genius at just 25. An exceptional lineup of violinists, violists, and cellists brings these works to life!
Marc Bouchkov | Boris Brovtsyn | Timothy Ridout
Frans Helmerson | Zofia Neugebauer | Martin Fröst | Lahav Shani
Martin Fröst and Lahav Shani invite their talented friends for a deeply expressive program, featuring Brahms’ Sonatas for Clarinet and Piano, Poulenc’s Rapsodie nègre, and Prokofiev’s Overture on Jewish Themes. This special performance marks Lahav Shani’s only appearance in Verbier this summer—an unmissable opportunity to see the acclaimed pianist and conductor away from the podium, where he regularly leads his orchestras in Rotterdam, Munich and Tel Aviv.
Randall Goosby | Paloma So | Máté Szücs | Anastasia Kobekina
Edgar Moreau | Brendan Kane | Isata Kanneh-Mason | Alexander Malofeev
Glinka and Elgar are too often underrated, despite being pioneers in their countries’ musical evolution. In the eighth and final chapter of Rencontres Inédites 2025, a stellar lineup of rising stars come together: Randall Goosby, Anastasia Kobekina, Edgar Moreau, Isata Kanneh-Mason and Alexander Malofeev among others. A stunning program to experience in Verbier this summer!
