Festival Off
Tamara Elias and Mathieu Foubert who will be playing at this year's Festival Off
NEW THIS YEAR!
One of this year's new concepts is the Festival Off: on Wednesdays and Fridays at 11:30 AM during the entire Festival period, enjoy free concerts at the Ancien Pénitencier Museum (3rd floor)! The concerts stage young talented musicians from Switzerland and abroad. Each concert is followed by a traditionally valaisan "apéritif" which is offered to you.
A great opportunity to discover young talents and appreciate a fantastic concert whilst visiting the Violins of Hope Exhibition!
