Verbier Festival expands to China
Verbier Festival is setting up a "Verbier Festival in Asia" in Shenzhen, China. The first edition will take place from January 30 to February 8, 2026 and will include over 25 concerts and events.
Performers will include Martha Argerich, Lang Lang, Joshua Bell, Mischa Maisky, Janine Jansen, Mikhail Pletnev, Gautier Capuçon, Bryn Terfel, Bruce Liu, Daniel Lozakovich, Alexander Malofeev, Marc Bouchkov, Timothy Ridout, Daniel Blendulf and many more. The Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra will be at the heart of the festival as the orchestra in residence under the direction of its music director Gábor Takács-Nagy. There will be six concerts.
The Verbier Festival is thus consolidating its activities with a winter event. The organizing partner is the Chinese agency Wu Promotion, which was founded in 1991 and has partnerships with the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras, among others.
