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.

Programme
Karol Szymanowski: Violin Concerto no. 1, Op.35
Johannes Brahms: Serenade no. 1 in D major, Op.11
Overview
Antonio Pappano returns to lead the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra for Brahms’s Serenade No. 1. The brilliant Janine Jansen performs Karol Szymanowski’s Violin Concerto No. 1.
“Terribly fantastical and unexpected” is how Szymanowski described his Violin Concerto No. 1 of 1916. Its inspiration was Tadeusz Miciwski’s poem ‘May Night’ which opens, “Donkeys in crowns settle on the grass, fireflies kiss the wild rose, while death flickers over the pond and plays a wanton song”. Musically, its three seamlessly running, thematically fluid movements are full of high-register dolcissimo violin passages, oriental scales, and luminous orchestral climaxes, reflecting his enthusiasm for Debussy, Ravel and antique eastern culture. Brahms’s symphonic six movement Serenade No. 1 of 1860 has its roots in the woodwind-strong serenades written by Mozart for garden festivities at the Salzburg court. Equally distinct are echoes of Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony No. 6, heard right from the first movement’s perky opening to folk drones.
