Program notes
The Verbier Festival 2015 continues with a concert of the Verbier Festival Music Camp, led by Alondra de la Parra. They are accompanied by violist Yuri Bashmet, an exceptional guest soloist of the greatest orchestras.
The young musicians of the Verbier Festival Music Camp, who are gathered at the Verbier Festival to live a unique musical experience, will not be disappointed! They will have the chance to be conducted by one of the current masters of conducting – the Mexican Alondra de la Parra, who was described by Plácido Domingo as an "extraordinary band leader." They will perform a world tour of 20th century musics, with works by the American Aaron Copland, the Englishman Benjamin Britten, the Russian Sergei Prokofiev and the Mexican Arturo Márquez. The guest of honor of this concert, who is a pinnacle of viola playing, renowned also for his teaching skills, is Yuri Bashmet.
