The Swiss Alps Classics stands for beautiful, sometimes extraordinary venues around the mystical St. Gotthard as well as for personal proximity to world-class artists. Star pianists such as Lang Lang, Igor Levit or Katia & Marielle Labèque, the opera greats Olga Peretyatko, Marisol Montalvo and Herbert Lippert, the violin virtuosos Maxim Brilinsky, Ziyu He, Benjamin Schmid & Emmanuel Tjeknavorian, who has already appeared as a conductor in 2019 & 2021, the internationally renowned composer and clarinettist Jörg Widmann, acclaimed formations such as the Philharmonia Schrammeln Wien, Triology or the Janoska Ensemble as well as members of the Vienna Philharmonic have honored us in the course of the past festivals. The actress Isabel Karajan and the Swiss-born Dieter Flury, long-time solo flutist and former managing director of the Vienna Philharmonic, as well as the "family duo" Elena Bashkirova-Barenboim and Michael Barenboim and Hans and Martin Haselböck also enjoyed the unmistakable atmosphere of the Swiss Alps Classics.
The Nätschen middle station, the Sasso San Gottardo Crystal Hall, the Benedictine monastery in Disentis, the Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne with its fantastic view over Lake Lucerne and the equally picturesque Park Hotel Vitznau on Lake Lucerne have already served as unusual concert locations. The festival's home venues are the 5-star deluxe hotel The Chedi Andermatt and the Andermatt Concert Hall. At the 2023 festival, Swiss Alps Classics made its first guest appearance in the new chamber music hall of Kultur Kulinarik Vitznau, which opened in February 2023.
