Next Generation Classic Festival

An exclusive festival of classical music

The NEXT GENERATION Classic Festival Bad Ragaz is characterised by expert skill, combined with the passion and enthusiasm of the young musicians. The elegant stages in the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz – the large Bernhard Simon Hall, the Rainer Maria Rilke Hall and the historic Music Salon – give each concert a special character and help make the performances by the international artists an unforgettable experience.

The NEXT GENERATION Classic Festival was held for the first time in 2011 with great success. The second festival will take place from 10 to 15 February 2012 with young participants from 16 countries. 27 extremely talented musicians between the ages of 11 and 27 will perform a high-calibre programme over the course of six days.

Centrum Bank is main sponsor

We are impressed by the philosophy of the NEXT GENERATION Classic Festival to offer committed young people a high-quality platform and provide the setting for encounters between different generations. Quality, sustainability and personal commitment are also key values in private banking – not least for Centrum Bank. It is therefore a great pleasure for us to be able to support the NEXT GENERATION Classic Festival as partner and main sponsor.

We are convinced that the young festival will quickly secure a fixed place for itself in the national and international festival calendar.
