Musical Book Launch for "When the Mountain Comes"
Overview
Intro
Reading: Firsthand accounts from people in Swiss mountain villages such as Blatten and Gondo who have experienced a natural disaster. Book launch with music
How do people cope after a natural disaster? Anicia Kohler, a writer and musician from Bern, visited the mountain villages of Brienz, Gondo, Bondo, Schwanden, Brienz/Brinzauls, and the Lötschental. In profound conversations, 27 people recount days filled with worry and painful loss, but also stories of love, friendships, village festivals, and music. Many of them have often been featured in the media, and this book gives them the space to share much more of their stories—beyond the disaster itself.
“When the Mountain Comes” will be published in September 2026 by the Swiss publisher Arisverlag.
The reading will be accompanied by a suite of pieces composed around this journey through the Swiss mountain regions.

Anicia Kohler (author and pianist)
