The Swiss big-tent festival plans to open a satellite event in Shenzhen this winter.

They say: The inaugural 2026 “Verbier Festival in Shenzhen” will run for ten days, from 30 January to 8 February 2026, presenting over 25 concerts and events. The festival will feature an exceptional roster of artists including Martha Argerich, Lang Lang, Joshua Bell, Mischa Maisky, Janine Jansen, Mikhail Pletnev, Gautier Capuçon, Bryn Terfel, Bruce Liu, Daniel Lozakovich, Alexander Malofeev, Marc Bouchkov, Timothy Ridout, Daniel Blendulf and more. These artists in special collaborations promise unforgettable performances.

At the heart of the festival will be the world-renowned Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra as orchestra-in-residence with Music Director Gábor Takács-Nagy, performing six concerts.
