Maxim Vengerov, principal conductor

A project of great artistic and strategic significance

With the Gstaad Festival Orchestra the Menuhin Festival would like to create a vehicle for representing the modern character of the Menuhin Festival in the 21st century as well as its consequent artistic realization. Something new should emerge in the inspiring region of Saanenland and Gstaad, something of artistic value that is of importance for the music world.

Gstaad and the Festival acquire an ambassador with the Gstaad Festival Orchestra that willbe able to present this beautiful region of the Bernese Oberland throughout Europe as a
“creative music workshop”.
