10th StradivariFEST Scuol: THE SEASONS

From September 9 to 12, 2026, the Stradivari Quartet, together with fellow musicians, invites you to the 10th anniversary edition of the StradivariFEST Scuol under the theme “SEASONS” to the most impressive monuments and concert halls around Scuol. Set against the backdrop of the Engadin’s autumnal mountain landscape, a musical program awaits you that brings the changing seasons to life in all their facets.

The opening concert at the Guarda Church, featuring Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons,” is entirely dedicated to the eternal cycle of nature: with evocative soundscapes and brimming with energy, the Stradivari Quartet brings spring, summer, fall, and winter to life. At the elegant Scuol Palace, the ensemble takes the audience to Buenos Aires with Piazzolla’s “Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas”—a passionate, rhythmically pulsating reflection of the seasons in an urban setting. At the Church of Scuol, Schubert’s “Winterreise” will be performed in a haunting arrangement for mezzo-soprano and string quartet featuring Marie-Claude Chappuis—a musical journey through an inner winter landscape filled with longing, loneliness, and existential depth. The festive finale will be a concert at the majestic Tarasp Castle: Tchaikovsky’s “The Seasons,” performed in an arrangement for cello and organ by Maja Weber and Giorgio Koukl, unfolds as a colorful homage to the passage of the year.

The 10th anniversary edition of the StradivariFEST Scuol 2026 invites you to experience the seasons in all their musical, emotional, and atmospheric diversity—set against the backdrop of the impressive Engadine mountains.
