Brahms & Schubert | Zukerman, Hope & Friends

An inspiring encounter between “mentor” and “protégé” – in the long-standing tradition of the Mauritiuskirche in Saanen, which since the Festival’s beginnings in 1957 has served as the central place for musical encounters of precisely this kind. To breathe new life into the music of Brahms and Schubert’s Quintet for Two Cellos – perhaps one of the most awe-inspiring works in the entire chamber-music repertoire and a true testament from Schubert’s final year, 1828 – Pinchas Zukerman and Daniel Hope are joined by companions from their musical family: pianist Simon Crawford-Phillips; Ryszard Groblewski, principal violist of the Zurich Chamber Orchestra; and the two cellists Anna Tyka Nyffenegger and Josephine Knight (Professor of the String Academy).
