The Gstaad Festival Youth Orchestra is no ordinary youth ensemble. Each year, young musicians from across Switzerland come together in the stunning Saanenland to form a vibrant symphony orchestra. In just one intensive and exhilarating week, they work as a team to bring extraordinary symphonic works to life. The energy is contagious – serious focus meets unrestrained joy, as every member pours their heart and talent into the music. When they perform, the orchestra becomes a living, breathing whole: a dazzling unity where the collective sound transcends the sum of its individual players.
