Jeunes virtuoses suisses

These musicians are young and full of talent. They are either Swiss or have studied at the country’s leading music academies. All four have won top honours in international music competitions. This evening at the Chillon Castle therefore promises to be a musical revelation! The programme gathers sonatas for cello and piano, a Handel Suite with unusual colouring on the harp, a bouquet of songs and arias and virtuoso violin pieces, all of which deserve to be better known by music lovers.
