Since 1996, the city of St. Petersburg hosts each year the festival Musical Olympus: a showcase of emerging music, which presents the recent winners of major international competitions. This unique event is a springboard for outstanding young virtuosos, most of whom pursue a career at the highest level. Four former participants of the festival will gather at Chillon Castle for a promising Sunday concert: mezzo-soprano Vasilisa Berzhanskaya, violinist Marc Bouchkov and pianist Daniel Kharitonov have all participated in recent editions of the Musical Olympus and today impose their talent on the biggest stages of the world. They will share the poster with their elder Alexander Boldachev.
