20th Gstaad New Year Music Festival
Overview
Intro
Let the Gstaad New Year Music Festival enchant you!
It all began in December 2005 when Princess Caroline Murat, herself a famous concert pianist under the stage name Caroline Haffner, decided to bring together young talents and established maestros.
She organized her own festival in the Swiss town of Gstaad and the surrounding mountain villages during the vacation season. It would be an opportunity to discover innovative programs and the public could meet the artists in an elegant and informal setting.
Princess Caroline Murat could not have been better suited to this task: She helped Martin Engström for several years at the Verbier Festival, co-founder of the Verbier Academy and co-founder of the Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad in 2001.
Today, the festival is under the patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. Over the years, more than 300 concerts and events have taken place here with over 1000 artists aged between 3 and 80. Artists from Switzerland, Europe and beyond come to perform in elegant venues and spend quality time with their audiences.
In recent seasons, the festival has hosted Maxime Vengerov, Gautier Capuçon, Julian Rachlin, Emmanuel Rossfelder, Jeremy Menuhin, Gaston Rivero, Inva Mula, Marthe Keller, Clotilde Courau, Cyrielle Clair, Pretty Yende, Marina Rebeka, Fatma Said, Nadine Sierra, Elīna Garanča, Pinchas Zukerman, Roberto Alagna, Jonathan Tetelman, Francesco Meli, among many other internationally renowned artists.
This non-profit event has now become a highlight of Gstaad's cultural landscape.
