CHAMBER MUSIC IN AN ENCHANTING MOUNTAIN SETTING

Eight exceptional concerts in a magical setting from January 1 to March 1, 2025
The Festival

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

 

The Musique & Neige Festival was founded in 1969. Sir Peter Ustinov, who was living in Les Diablerets at the time, came up with the idea of holding concerts in the magnificent Temple de Vers-l’Église. The success story has continued for more than half a century!

Successive artistic directors have been united in their passion to enable music lovers to see top artists at extremely affordable prices. The Festival hopes to bring audiences strong emotions, quality, fellowship and a warm welcome.

The Festival's longevity is down to its volunteers, loyal audiences and a handful of sponsors. It receives financial support from the Municipality of Ormont-Dessus. The substantial contribution made by donors from the Friends of the Festival Association, and by patrons who are generous and discreet in equal measure, means that the budget is balanced each year.

Programme

This 55th edition of the festival ended on a high note with a concert by the Grande Symphonie de Poche on March 2 at the Vers-l'Église temple.

Our artistic director, Gilles Champoud, has once again succeeded in putting together an exceptional program, and many of you attended.

The exceptional quality of our program attracted the attention of RTS - Espace 2, which recorded two of the eight concerts we were pleased to present. A recognition that underlines the excellence of our festival and enables us to share our passion for music with as many people as possible.
