Stradivari Fest
23 to 27 July 2025
The StradivariFEST Gersau is a tradition and a firm institution in the last week of July. Concerts take place on the lake, in the magnificent church, in splendid hotel halls, next to and in cosy chapels, at breathtaking vantage points and on graceful ships, because the focus is on "playing" special spaces.
to the history
In the past, six Stradivari instruments were kept by the Stradivari Foundation Habisreutinger in Gersau. These were later loaned out and always returned to Gersau once a year, at the end of July, for the annual concert.
This tradition was expanded by Maja Weber in 2015 to become the StradivariFEST and has become an integral part of Gersau.
