Inclusive Culture
Gstaad Menuhin Festival & Academy is dedicated to being inclusive for all, expanding its range of accessible experiences. People with disabilities can enjoy selected concerts accompanied by a music educator, creating a shared experience. The Festival also offers “Relaxed Performances”, designed for those who prefer a more laid-back atmosphere with barrier-free conditions. Inclusive music workshops are part of the programme. Hearing aids are provided at certain concerts to ensure everyone can enjoy the music.
