Ernen is a music village again

5 August 2025

In Ernen (canton of Valais), pianist György Sebők (1922-1999) found the ideal inspiration to (re)discover music. In recent decades, his master classes have led to a musical oasis in the Alps.

The Musikdorf Ernen festival features a diverse program. Every summer, the mountain village is transformed into a vibrant cultural kaleidoscope, featuring a diverse range of events, including baroque music, piano recitals, jazz concerts, lectures, and performances of orchestral and chamber music.

Workshops and lectures also attract musicians and visitors from all over the world. The former village of Bishop and Cardinal Schiner is then once again transformed into a music village for a few months.
