Carte blanche à Pinchas Zukerman

24.07.2026 , Friday

Pinchas Zukerman, together with his wife, cellist Amanda Forsyth, and two other members of his musical “family,” invites you to an evening under the venerable vault of the Saanen church. Chamber music evenings amidst the significant murals of the Mauritius Church have always significantly shaped the identity of the festival. As a student of Ivan Galamian at the Juilliard School in New York, the Israeli violinist is in his element here.
