The 32nd edition will take place from July 16 to August 3, 2025, featuring unique encounters and, as always, an impressive lineup of world-renowned artists, including Martha Argerich, Khatia Buniatishvili, Janine Jansen, Lise Davidsen, Bryn Terfel, Ludovic Tézier, Daniil Trifonov, Evgeny Kissin, Renaud Capuçon, Klaus Mäkelä, Paavo Järvi, Lahav Shani, as well as Barbara Hannigan, Sonya Yoncheva, Leonardo García-Alarcón, and Teodor Currentzis making their Verbier debuts.
