Gstaad New Year Music Festival
A great adventure
I would like to express my profound gratitude to Her Royal Highness Princess Marie Gabrielle de Savoie for the honor she accords the festival as being Honorary President of the Club des Amis.
Dear and loyal friends,
I am thrilled to be with you for the 17th edition

Your commitment to the Festival is vital and your support to music and art is essential.
My very best wishes for the coming year, I look forward to seeing you all at the wonderful events that await us!
