Montreux-Vevey Music Festival

(Local Name: Festival de Musique) This annual six-week festival runs from late August to early October and includes over 30 performances. Events include orchestral, choral, chamber and organ concerts and recitals.

Since its inception in 1946, the festival has showcased famous composers and traditional works while at the same time promoting young, new musicians and their more contemporary repertoire.

The venues are as varied as the music and include châteaus, castles and halls in the two towns.
