András Schiff live in Verbier

Experience András Schiff live on July 28th

András Schiff, a Hungarian-born British pianist renowned for his interpretations of classical and early romantic composers, particularly Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, and Janáček, will perform at the Salle des Combins in Verbier, Switzerland on July 28, 2026. Schiff’s playing is characterized by clarity of articulation, intellectual rigor, and a deeply considered approach to phrasing and structure. He is known for avoiding overtly romanticized performance practices, instead favoring a more restrained and structurally aware style that emphasizes the composer’s intentions. He frequently performs solo recitals and chamber music alongside orchestral engagements.

The Salle des Combins serves as the primary concert hall for the Verbier Festival, established in 1994. Originally a sports hall built for the 1936 Winter Olympics held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (and relocated to Verbier due to wartime conditions), it was converted into a concert venue specifically for the festival. The hall is noted for its relatively intimate size – seating approximately 850 people – and its excellent acoustics which have been refined over the years through ongoing adjustments.
