6 p.m., Culinary Experience at the Bergrestaurant Eggli
7:30 p.m., Berghaus Eggli, Covered Terrace
Awarded at the prestigious ARD Competition in Munich in 2024, the ensemble embodies a fresh, open-minded vision of art – one that reflects the new face of music. With culturally diverse roots spanning three continents, the five young wind players chose the name “Pacific Wind Quintet” in 2017 as a tribute to the renowned festival in Sapporo founded by Leonard Bernstein, whose boundless energy and passion continue to inspire their work. The programme they bring to their debut at the Menuhin Festival Gstaad is as layered as it is original: vibrant, powerful, and unmistakably their own.
Mountain Ascent & Descent
Ascent from 6.15 pm to 7.15 pm, descent after the concert from approx. 9.30 pm. For guests who have also booked dinner, the ascent is from 5.30 pm to 6.00 pm. Both rides with the Eggli Gstaad cable cars are included in the ticket price.
Culinary Experience
The culinary team of the Eggli mountain restaurant will provide a refined dining experience to complement your evening. Before the concert, enjoy a delightful starter and main course, followed by a delicious dessert during the intermission.
