After making his debut in Saanen in 2017 with the Menuhin School Orchestra followed by a 100% Vivaldi evening with Nuria Rial last year, Israeli mandolin star Avi Avital is back with an extremely varied programme, consisting of his own arrangements of famous works revisited with the help of Latvian accordion virtuoso Ksenja Sidorova. A colourful journey that will take the listener from the depths of timeless Russia to the lush shores of the Amazon.
