SWISS WIND ACADEMY 
12–21 September 2025

Following a highly successful inaugural edition in 2024, the Zermatt Music Festival is pleased to present the second Swiss Wind Academy for young Swiss students. Five young Swiss wind students will be selected to take part in this unique academy organized specifically for the study of the wind quintet repertoire as well as works for smaller formations. These young musicians will receive daily tuition from the wind players of the Scharoun Ensemble (of the Berliner Philharmoniker) and will have the chance to play alongside them. At the end of the academy, the musicians will perform at several concerts as part of the Zermatt Music Festival.
