Verbier Festival at Home
The Verbier Festival is a truly global inter-generational gathering place that attracts artists, students and music-lovers from all over the world. Due to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the 27th edition of the Festival has sadly been cancelled. But we can still imagine what might have been this summer in Verbier by devouring musical treats from some of the Festival’s favourite artists and from those whose artistry have left an indelible mark.Imagine yourself in the beauty of the Swiss Alps as you breathe in this regularly updated playlist by a host of Verbier Festival guest curators.
