Khatia Buniatishvili live in Verbier

Experience Khatia Buniatishvili live on July 22nd

Khatia Buniatishvili will perform at the Salle des Combins in Verbier, Switzerland on July 22, 2026. Buniatishvili is a Georgian-French pianist known for her intensely expressive and often powerfully dramatic interpretations of classical repertoire. Her playing is frequently characterized by a wide dynamic range, a richly textured sound, and a willingness to explore the emotional depths of the compositions she performs. She often champions works by composers such as Rachmaninoff, Liszt and Prokofiev, alongside core classical pieces.

The Salle des Combins serves as the primary concert venue for the Verbier Festival, established in 1994 by Martin Engstroem. Originally constructed as a sports hall in 1983, it was acoustically renovated specifically for musical performances in the early 1990s. The renovation focused on creating a warm and resonant acoustic environment suitable for chamber music and solo recitals, while also accommodating larger orchestral ensembles. The hall’s design incorporates wood extensively to enhance sound quality and create an intimate atmosphere despite its relatively large capacity – approximately 850 seats.
