Verbier Festival Orchestra live in Verbier

Experience Verbier Festival Orchestra live on July 27th

The Verbier Festival Orchestra will perform at the Salle des Combins in Verbier, Switzerland on July 27, 2026. This orchestra, assembled annually for the Verbier Festival, is renowned for its performances of orchestral repertoire spanning the Baroque to contemporary periods, with a particular emphasis on large-scale Romantic and 20th/21st-century works. The ensemble draws its musicians from leading orchestras internationally, fostering a collaborative environment known for its flexibility and passionate interpretations.

Salle des Combins is the primary concert venue for the Verbier Festival. Constructed in 1988 as a sports hall, it was acoustically renovated in 2008 specifically to accommodate orchestral performances. The renovation, led by acoustician Russell Johnson, transformed the space into a highly regarded concert hall celebrated for its warm and resonant sound. Its design features a wooden structure and adjustable acoustic elements allowing it to be optimized for various musical genres. The hall’s capacity is approximately 850 seats. It remains a multi-purpose venue utilized throughout the year but is central to the festival's identity and artistic program.
