About Klosters Music
Summer concerts 2025 (26 July to 3 August 2025): Myths and Legends
“Myths and Legends” is the theme of Klosters Music 2025. The violinist Augustin Hadelich (Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto) and the two pianists Piotr Anderszewski (Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1) and Nikolai Luganski (Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2) are leading musicians who will be appearing for the first time at the festival. Sir András Schiff returns with two consecutive concerts to Klosters.
The Munich Chamber Orchestra and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen will each give two concerts: from Mozart via Beethoven and Schubert to Wagner. The opening concert will feature Haydn’s “Nelson Mass”, performed by the Zürcher Sing-Akademie. Chamber music par excellence will be performed by the Schumann Quartet and clarinettist Andreas Ottensamer. The family concert “Peter and the Wolf” and a performance by the brilliant classical comedy duo Igudesman & Joo on their farewell tour will add even more colour to Klosters Music.
Church concerts 2025
With the new format of the church concert series in St Jacob’s Church, Klosters Music is expanding its programme throughout the year. The Goll organ, a valuable musical treasure in Klosters, will be heard in very different sound combinations, solo or with instrumental or vocal music. The opening year 2025 is dedicated to Johann Sebastian Bach.
Foundation Art & Music, Klosters
The organiser of Klosters Music is the Foundation Art & Music, Klosters. The creation of the Foundation and the Patrons’ Association of the same name in Spring 2019 have created a professional and sustainable basis for developing a cultural offering of the highest standard and with great charisma. In future the Foundation will strengthen and broaden different styles and formats in the fields of art and music in Klosters, in Prättigau and beyond.
Various personalities from Klosters and those with a close relationship to Klosters collaborate as volunteers and with great commitment on the Foundation’s board. The purpose of the newly formed Foundation is as follows (extract from the Charter):
«The aim of the Foundation is to hold concerts, festivals, exhibitions, readings and other cultural events in Klosters or its environs. In this context, there can also be contributions to the training and encouragement of artists, musicians and authors, particularly of as yet unknown performers and creators, with no geographical restrictions. The Foundation can furthermore support all types of projects and programmes that further this purpose.
Any profit realised from the pursuit of the charitable purpose (proceeds of concerts and other events) is used exclusively for the pursuit of this purpose and the perpetuation of the Foundation. The Foundation exclusively pursues charitable purposes and is set up altruistically and not for any gainful activity. It fulfils its purpose charitably and is not profit-oriented.»
The Foundation Art & Music, Klosters, and the Patrons’ Association of the same name have been tax-exempt since 17 April 2019 by decision of the Canton of Grisons tax administration.
