In her series Verbier Generation Stories, produced for medici.tv's Studio 30 at the 30th anniversary edition of the Verbier Festival, musicologist, author, producer, and lecturer Michèle Larivière takes us behind the scenes for a look at the colorful personalities and supportive organizations that form the lifeblood of this one-of-a-kind Alpine event. In this fourth and final installment, Larivière shows us the indelible legacy of some of the most storied mentors of the Verbier Festival Academy—including tributes to the late, great Dmitri Bashkirov and Menahem Pressler, and a focus on student-turned-mentor Kirill Gerstein.
