The Festival Tent, a temporary structure erected annually in Gstaad, serves as the primary venue for the Menuhin Festival Gstaad. Established in 1957 by Yehudi Menuhin and Marcel Homberger, the festival initially aimed to bring together young musicians for masterclasses and performances. Over time it evolved into a prominent international classical music festival attracting renowned artists globally. The tent itself is specifically designed for acoustic excellence and provides an intimate setting for chamber music and solo recitals. Its construction is part of the annual festival preparations, becoming a recognizable landmark during the event’s duration.
