Festival

Gstaad Menuhin Festival 2026

The Gstaad Menuhin Festival 2026 marks a historic milestone as it celebrates its 70th anniversary, opening a new chapter under the artistic leadership of violinist and conductor Daniel Hope. From 16 July to 5 September 2026, the idyllic villages, churches, and mountain landscapes of the Swiss Saanenland once again become the setting for one of Europe’s most distinctive classical music festivals, where artistic excellence meets the tranquility of the Alps.

Programme

Nikolai Tcherepnin: "La Princesse lointaine", prelude to the play of Edmond Rostand, Op. 4

Pyotr Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto no. 1 in B flat minor, Op.23

Pyotr Tchaikovsky: Symphony no. 5 in E minor, Op.64

Overview

After the Viennese colours and the “fin-de-siècle” atmosphere of their first appearance in Gstaad – an evening dedicated to Gustav Mahler – Vasily Petrenko and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra now journey further eastward for a grand Tchaikovsky programme brimming with passion and brilliance.

On the programme are two of the Russian composer’s most iconic masterpieces: the First Piano Concerto, featuring the Uzbek–American virtuoso Behzod Abduraimov, and the monumental Fifth Symphony – both completed in 1888. The evening opens with the captivating stage music composed by the young Nikolai Tcherepnin for La Princesse lointaine, a theatre piece Edmond Rostand wrote especially for the legendary Sarah Bernhardt. As one of the few true heirs to the great Russian musical tradition, Tcherepnin not only preserved Tchaikovsky’s romantic legacy, but infused it with new life as the twentieth century began.
