Music

Much-loved works by Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Saint-Saëns played by the renowned Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra together with two of the most sought-after soloists of their generation – the Hong Kong pianist Rachel Cheung and the French cellist Gautier Capuçon. Mozart’s light-hearted “Haffner” Symphony and Schubert’s Fifth Symphony are favourites of Switzerland’s Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra, resident at the Verbier Festival since its foundation in 2005. The orchestra’s superb reputation has attracted leading conductors and led to worldwide tours; since 2007 its music director has been Gábor Takács-Nagy, winner of both the Liszt Prize and Pizzicato Magazine’s Excellencia Prize. Takács-Nagy is also Music Director of the Manchester Camerata and Principal Guest Conductor of the Budapest Festival Orchestra.
