As a prelude to the New Year’s Eve celebrations, the Friends of the Verbier Festival invite you to the traditional New Year’s Concert, featuring this year the brilliant violinist Marc Bouchkov. Following his triumph at the 2025 Verbier Festival in Brahms’ Violin Concerto conducted by Teodor Currentzis, he returns to the intimate setting of Verbier’s Church for a chamber music program alongside violinist Lir Vaginsky and pianist Lily Maisky. A moment of emotion, harmony, and celebration!

Marc Bouchkov
Since his breakthrough at the Tchaikovsky Competition in 2019, the Belgian violinist of Russo-Ukrainian origin Marc Bouchkov has built a strong international reputation, performing around the world with leading orchestras and some of today’s most distinguished conductors. Now a regular guest at the Verbier Festival, Marc Bouchkov has left a lasting impression in recent seasons, notably in Brahms’ concerto alongside Teodor Currentzis, as well as in recital programmes devoted to Bach and Ysaÿe. Next summer, he will appear in no fewer than six concerts at the Festival. But don’t wait: see him live on 28 December at our traditional New Year’s Concert, held in the magical setting of the Église de Verbier, surrounded by snow!

Trained by some of the greatest piano masters, including Martha Argerich, Lily Maisky is a passionate chamber musician and has performed for several years in a regular duo with her father, Mischa Maisky.
