If that stellar lineup and their glorious composers don’t tempt you, there is also the UNLTD section offering music without limits; a program for children called VF KIDS; lighter entertainment at the Cinéma de Verbier; and a 100 masterclasses, free to attend, which bring together promising young musicians with great masters of classical music who try to fine tune their talents.
The whole festival is a marvelous, relaxed celebration of music in green mountain surroundings. Look up their various offerings on the festival’s website.
