Concert Calendar

Since his victory at the Paganini Competition in 2010, violinist Kristóf Baráti has been a force to be reckoned with. In addition to Paganini's Second Concerto, which includes the famous ‘Campanella’, he plunges here into Alexey Shor's world of Mozartian refinement. Brahms's final Symphony completes the programme.

1914, 1945: the dates of Sibelius's Fifth Symphony and Bartók's Concerto for two Pianos mark the boundaries of the upheavals that struck the early twentieth century. Sibelius's compatriot Klaus Mäkelä and pianists Sergei Babayan and Daniil Trifonov perform this demanding programme.

‘Without Bach, I wouldn't be a musician’. This statement by Leonardo García Alarcón speaks volumes about the influence the Kantor of Leipzig has had on him. Here, the Argentine conductor is joined by Ying Fang, Mariana Flores, Alice Coote, Bernard Richter and Benjamin Appl for a Mass in B sure to be rich in fervour and emotion.

Sonya Yoncheva and Ludovic Tézier have developed the same culture of vocality, placing at the centre of their art the purity of diction. In the company of Alice Coote and Sunnyboy Dladla, they perform Rossini's Stabat Mater, conducted by Fabio Luisi.

Pierre Génisson and Antoine Tamestit have succeeded in giving their instruments a new glory, combining technical excellence with a sharp, open mind. They join forces in Bruch's Double Concerto, with Schumann's tumultuous Second Symphony completing the programme.

Teodor Currentzis' second long-awaited Verbier Festival concert, alongside violinist Marc Bouchkov in this concert that explores the epic heights and depths of Mendelssohn.
