A day with Evgeny Kissin II: Verbier Festival Essentials Verbier Festival 2007-2018

About

Generously supported by Madame Aline Foriel-Destezet

As a child prodigy who grew into one of the most respected and in-demand artists of his era, Evgeny Kissin electrifies every stage on which he performs—and the stage at the Verbier Festival has borne witness to dozens of vintage Kissin concerts, beginning with its very first edition in 1994. Take a look back on some of our favorite moments, where you’ll see him both solo and accompanied by some friends whose faces you just might recognize…
