Final concert
Monday, May 25, 2026, 10.30 a.m., KULTURSCHOCK - the iconic chamber music ensemble from the Schwyz valley basin with "Sturm!"

The Accento concerts have already weathered "storms", and now it's about to get even stormier: KULTURSCHOCK combines Schubert's quartet movement with Mendelssohn's "Calm before the Storm", Vivaldi's thunderstorm with Mozart's "Titus", Handel's "Hercules" with Cyrill Greter

And if the weather gods are kind to us, they might send a thunderstorm to Rüteli.... Then we'll just take refuge in the Remise...


Lydia Opilik, vocals, Gabriel Miranda & Stéphanie Scalbert, violins, Cyrill Greter, viola, Severin Suter, violoncello
