Gstaad Festival Youth Orchestra – Concert
Gstaad Academy – Concert for All
Sunday, 11 August 2024
11.30 am, Gstaad Festival Tent
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 is coming together in Saanenland. We are working 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!
