International Alphorn Festival
Overview
Intro
Every year, the International Alphorn Festival brings together around 100 alphorn players for its unique competition and its spellbinding ensemble pieces.
AN OFFICIAL COMPETITION
The Alphorn players compete in an official blind competition: the jurors are inside a tent without knowing the identity of the players who perform, which guarantees their total impartiality. This competition attracts the best Alphorn players from all over Switzerland and abroad.
A OFF COMPETITION
With its rules offering more freedom to players and composers, the OFF competition allows the most experienced among them to stray from the beaten track and traditional pieces. It opens the door to contemporary pieces in several pitches. It is also an opportunity for the public to discover this ancestral instrument in a more modern style.
MOMENTS OUTSIDE OF TIME
For the public, the highlight of the International Alphorn Festival is undoubtedly the ensemble pieces performed. Originally used to communicate from one valley to another, the Alphorn resounds once again in the mountains, but at the power of 100 (the number of players who join together to offer us this moment of grace).
A LARGE EMPHASIS ON FOLKLORE
The International Alphorn Festival is more than just a gathering of Alphorn enthusiasts; it is a great celebration of Swiss traditions. Numerous folklore productions punctuate the two-day festival.
