Gstaad Festival Youth Orchestra – Concert
Gstaad Academy – Concert for All
Sunday, 14 August 2022
11.30 am, Gstaad Festival Tent
“Gustav Mahler was a saint”, Schönberg said at the funeral service. “I don't understand his music, but he is young; perhaps he is right”, Mahler said for his part about his young colleague. In our concert we will demonstrate that both breathed the same air almost simultaneously: Viennese air! We are opening the concert with another representative of the city of music par excellence: Franz Schubert. (Matthias Kuhn)
The Gstaad Festival Youth Orchestra stands out among youth orchestras. Every year, a newly formed, large symphony orchestra with young people from all over Switzerland meets in Saanenland. Together we work on wonderful symphonic music in a most intense, productive and cheerful atmosphere … in just one week. Everyone gives their best. Together, we achieve an impressive result at the concert: an orchestra made of countless ingredients where the whole has become significantly more than the sum of the individual parts!
