7:30 p.m., Church Lauenen
Sebastian Knauer returns to the heights of the Saanenland – bringing with him a programme that unfolds like an adventure: a journey from the intimacy of night to the shimmering glow of the city. Expect a luminous path that leads from Mozart’s nocturnal reflections and Schubert’s poetic inner worlds, through Beethoven’s “Moonlight”, to Satie’s dreamlike stillness – and finally to Gershwin’s sparkling metropolis. An evening that reveals just how many stories a piano can tell.
