Gstaad - Menuhin Festival

This annual month-long festival takes place in August and includes at least 15 evening performances, including orchestral, choral and chamber concerts and organ recitals. Since its inception in 1956, the festival has focused on new music and new musicians, although it has also featured international stars performing traditional works. The repertoires usually vary, and include both classical styles such as Bach and Mozart to contemporary pieces by Gershwin and others. All performances take place in Saanen Church.
