Kammerphilharmonie Graubunden live in Poschiavo

Experience Kammerphilharmonie Graubunden live on August 14th

Kammerphilharmonie Graubünden, a chamber orchestra based in Chur, Switzerland, will perform at Dorfplatz in Poschiavo on August 14, 2026. The ensemble is known for its interpretations of classical and romantic repertoire, frequently focusing on works from the 18th and 19th centuries, alongside contemporary compositions. They are recognized for a flexible instrumentation allowing for varied programming and a commitment to both established masterpieces and lesser-known works.

Dorfplatz Poschiavo serves as the central square of the village of Poschiavo, located in the Val Poschiavo region of Graubünden canton. Historically, it functioned as a marketplace and gathering point for the local community. The square is characterized by its traditional Engadine architecture, featuring houses with sgraffito decorations – a technique of scratching through a dark surface layer to reveal contrasting colours underneath – and stone paved ground. It remains an important location for local events and festivals throughout the year. The surrounding buildings largely date from the 16th to 18th centuries reflecting the area’s agricultural past and trade connections with Italy. The square's relatively contained space creates an intimate atmosphere for performances.
