A Crazy Night in Verbier

The concert on 31 July is shaping up to be an unforgettable night. To celebrate the fortieth birthday of the great violinist Vadim Repin, the talented Aleksey Igudesman has planned this evening with great care, imagination and a healthy dose of humour. On this crazy night, you will find yourself getting carried away by Repin and supporting artists such as Julian Rachlin and Roby Lakatos, the incredible gypsy violinist. And for the sceptics amongst you, you may well be surprised as the magic will even extend to the members of the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra, who promise to perform a few dance steps...
