    2018 ZERMATT FESTIVAL ACADEMY


    The village of Zermatt, at the foot of the Matterhorn, offers peace and relaxation in one of the most
    beautiful places in the world. This unique atmosphere, in the middle of a breathtaking natural
    landscape, enchanted Pablo Casals who regularly spent his summer holidays here in the 1950’s and
    60’s. Together with Franz Seiler, General Manager of the Seiler Hotels Zermatt during that time, he
    founded the Zermatt summer concerts and master classes, to which he invited almost all of the
    famous musicians of his day as chamber music partners and lecturers.

    This tradition in Zermatt was revived in 2005 with the establishment of the Zermatt Music Festival.
    Chamber music and orchestral concerts are performed by the Scharoun Ensemble and other soloists
    of the Berliner Philharmoniker in the beautiful Riffelalp Kapelle located at 2.222 meters above the sea
    level as well as other locations in Zermatt.
