Verbier Festival 2026
The Verbier Festival 2026 invites you to experience classical music at its most vibrant, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Swiss Alps. Each summer, this unique gathering transforms the alpine village of Verbier into a global meeting point for the world’s finest musicians and the next generation of rising stars — a place where tradition meets discovery, and every performance feels alive with possibility.
Programme
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy: Piano sextet in D major op.110
Johann Sebastian Bach: Ich habe genug - Cantata, BWV82
Overview
An original programme paying tribute to the two masters of Leipzig, Bach and Mendelssohn, brought to life by the immense baritone Peter Mattei and a top-tier chamber ensemble for Mendelssohn’s Piano and Strings Sextet.
The little brother of the famous Octet, Mendelssohn’s Sextet was composed when the composer was only 15 years old. The unusual instrumentation is reminiscent of Schubert’s Trout Quintet, from which it also borrows its undulating lines and authoritative unisons. The piano takes the lion’s share: a godsend for the precocious Sunwook Kim, who is to contemporary piano what Mendelssohn was to composition, and who will capture the lively intelligence of the most famous child prodigy of the 19th century.
The cantata ‘Ich habe genug’ was one of Bach’s favourites, and he endowed it with unique innovations, such as the oboe solo, magnificently performed here by Emmanuel Laville. Between profound lullabies and triumphant opera arias, Bach explores all the facets of the lyric art of his time. As for ‘Mache dich, mein Herze, rein’, it evokes a biblical episode and compares it with the personal experience of the believer. Peter Mattei, a great specialist in Mozart and Schubert, will bring out the profoundly human aspect of this repertoire, as well as its austere gravity.
