Mikhail Pletnev live in Verbier

Experience Mikhail Pletnev live on July 30th

Mikhail Pletnev will perform at the Salle des Combins in Verbier, Switzerland on July 30, 2026. Pletnev is internationally recognized as a pianist and conductor celebrated for his technically brilliant and often poetic interpretations of classical repertoire. His playing style is frequently characterized by clarity, precision, and a distinctive voicing that highlights inner melodic lines. He’s particularly known for his performances of Russian composers like Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev, alongside a broad range of works from Bach to Shostakovich. He often brings a unique, almost chamber-music sensibility even to large orchestral performances.

The Salle des Combins serves as the primary concert venue for the Verbier Festival, established in 1997. Originally constructed as a sports hall in the 1980s, it was acoustically renovated specifically for the festival by Russell Johnson in 2008. The renovation transformed the space into a highly regarded concert hall known for its warm acoustics and intimate atmosphere despite its relatively large capacity (approximately 850 seats).
