Since its inaugural celebration in 1994, each edition of the Verbier Festival has been characterized by the presence of pianists of the highest caliber—the distinguished alpine festival spotlights instrumentalists, vocalists, and ensembles of all kinds, but boasts enough luminaries to rival any piano festival in the world. Today, a who’s-who of Verbier Festival pianists, all among the most awe-inspiring names in the business, come together for this one-of-a-kind event specially curated for piano lovers like you.

Tune in for pianistic pyrotechnics and passion by an all-star cast: Denis Matsuev, Emanuel Ax, Stephen Kovacevich, Menahem Pressler, Nelson Freire, Yefim Bronfman, Richard Goode, Sergei Babayan, Khatia Buniatishvili, Nelson Goerner, Nikolai Lugansky, Elisabeth Leonskaja, and Hélène Grimaud will put on an unforgettable show. As always, Verbier brings you only the best of the best in piano solo, concerto and chamber music repertoire, featuring your favorite masterworks by Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninov, Schumann, Ravel, Mozart, and many more!
