Salle des Combins is the Verbier Festival’s main concert hall. It normally seats 1,419. Each row is on a separate tier, which guarantees an excellent view of the stage. Improvements to the soundproofing and heat insulation make this a very high-quality non-permanent venue. All of the Festival’s symphonic concerts, operas, large world music, jazz, dance events and some recitals are presented here.

Verbier Festival 2021
The Verbier Festival, now in its 28th year, announces its return for 17 days of concerts, masterclasses, talks and education events in the picturesque setting of the Swiss Alps.
Programme
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Piano Concerto no. 27 in B flat major, K595
Johannes Brahms: Serenade no. 1 in D major, Op.11
Overview
Sergei Babayan’s stunning interpretation of Mozart’s transcendental Piano Concerto No. 27 is followed by Brahms’s joyful Serenade No. 1 with Antonio Pappano and the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra.
Mozart’s gently intimate and at times wistful Piano Concerto no 27 was his last, completed just eleven months before his death; although if its tone has an autobiographical element, this is most likely to be linked to his recent recovery both from illness, and from falling slightly from favour with the Viennese public. Scored for chamber-esque forces – no clarinets, trombones or timpani – it encases an exquisitely simple Larghetto between smoothly flowing outer movements whose soft warmth is offset by poignant switches to the minor. Brahms was still in his twenties when he wrote his optimistic, pastoral-sounding Serenade No 1. While gloriously Brahmsian and symphonic, its six movements and prominent woodwind and horns are also reminiscent of Mozart’s own early-career divertimenti; and in fact it began life scored for flute, clarinet, two bassoons, horn and string quartet, before Joseph Joachim persuaded him to orchestrate it.
