Chamber music
Saturday 31 July 2021

Vassilis Varvaresos is a pianist with a solid career. His First Prize in 1998 at the YCA International Auditions launched him in the United States, allowing him to perform at the White House for President Barrack Obama. With a PhD from the Juilliard School and a performance diploma from the Paris Conservatory (where he was a student of Michel Dalberto), this multi-faceted artist has also composed music for ten films and several television series, written a book and released a very original record called “V for Valse” on Aparthé.
The performance of Vassilis Varvaresos will be broadcast on Gstaad Digital Festival on 2 August at 7.30 pm. Following all concerts of the “Jeunes Étoiles” series, you can vote for your favorite in the online voting on gstaaddigitalfestival.ch from 9.9 – 30.9.21.
