Gstaad Menuhin Festival & Academy

18 July –  6 September 2025

What began with two concerts in the church in Saanen in 1957 with Yehudi Menuhin, the violinist of the century, has become one of the largest music festivals in Switzerland: the Gstaad Menuhin Festival.

The artistic director Christoph Müller has led the festival into the 21st century with great success, combining tradition and innovation, international stars and rising young talents, chamber music and symphonic music in well-balanced proportions.

The next edition of the Gstaad Menuhin Festival & Academy is all about transformation and emphasises artistic diversity, international collaboration and innovation in the programme. The challenges, creative solutions and changes of recent years will be emphasised, making the festival dynamic and contemporary. The programme mixes genres, styles and eras.
