L'Heure Bleue – Concert for All

Thursday, 17 August 2023
5.30 pm, Gstaad Festival Tent

It is the culmination of three weeks of intensive work: a life-size conducting school, with the support of a first-class orchestra – the Gstaad Festival Orchestra – and the impetus of Jaap van Zweden, Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla and Johannes Schlaefli. A memorable moment for each of the students, culminating in the award of the Neeme Järvi Prize, promising future engagements at the head of the best orchestras in Switzerland and Germany. The battle is sure to be fierce to win over the jury and make the most of the dozens of hours of lessons accumulated!
