Masters of Sound – a charity concert hosted by David Garrett & The Del Gesù Club ID:
Rezital
Sunday, 26. July 2026
8 p.m., Church Saanen
A world premiere. A former student of Zakhar Bron, Ida Haendel and Itzhak Perlman, David Garrett has risen to become an international star of the violin world. Whether through his crossover projects or his classical performances, he captivates audiences around the globe. Driven by his passion for the great Cremonese tradition of violin making, David Garrett founded one of the world’s most exclusive clubs in 2021: The Del Gesù Club. Its members are drawn from an international “who’s who” of violin virtuosos, leading collectors, and the most renowned names in the violin trade. The price of admission is nothing less than an instrument by Guarneri del Gesù – either owned or played. This year’s fifth club gathering marks not only a small anniversary, but also a historic moment: for the very first time, a public audience will be able to experience a truly unique concert, performed live on some of the most fascinating instruments by Guarneri del Gesù – and, this year, also by Antonio Stradivari – played by some of the finest violinists of our time. Audiences can look forward to a musical evening unlike any other.
