PRIX YVES PATERNOT: 10TH ANNIVERSARY
To mark its tenth anniversary, the Prix Yves Paternot brings together several of its laureates. Each summer, the prize recognises an artist of the Academy at the outset of a major career — ten years of artists shaped in Verbier and now active on the international stage.

Several former laureates return to Verbier for this concert, following distinct artistic paths. Their presence reflects the role the Prix Yves Paternot has played at a formative moment in their development, and the trajectories that have grown from it over the past decade. The programme brings together operatic scenes by Rossini, Donizetti, Bizet and Mozart, alongside instrumental works for solo violin and piano trio. It moves between solo and ensemble performance, offering a clear sense of these artists today, heard side by side in a single afternoon.
