Stephen Waarts and Julien Quentin

Another young talent to discover during this opening weekend, violinist Stephen Waarts will make his Verbier debut in a program dedicated to Romanticism and Stravinsky, one of the favorite instruments of the Russian genius. Winner of the Yehudi Menuhin and Queen Elisabeth competitions, he studied at the Curtis Institute and the Kronberg Academy, and was a pupil of Itzhak Perlman. A warm, captivating sound not to be missed!
