We know Gandhi’s famous phrase: “Be the change you want to see in the world.” The director of the Gstaad Menuhin Festival has set himself the goal of making the major event founded by violinist Yehudi Menuhin an example of change and transformation. “Our organization seeks to produce a sustainable festival that respects the resources of our planet,” recalls its director, Christoph Müller, in the preamble to the announcement of its programming. A major paradox when you think about it: Gstaad, a posh resort where the jet-set arrives by private planes, where in winter endangered species are mainly visible transformed into fur coats, would thus be concerned about the planet through its festival of music?
