For this grand musical party, the Verbier Festival is bringing together as many of its precious family of artists as it can possibly fit onstage, from new-generation talent to luminaries, and from Festival old-timers (many of whom first arrived in Verbier as promising Academy students) to more recent-blossomed relationships. Expect a festival atmosphere in every sense of the word, via a veritable smorgasbord of different musical works and artist constellations.
