38th anniversary of the Goppisberg Music Festival and Academy. In 1987, Mrs. Katharina Hardy, born on November 7, 1928 in Budapest, founded the Goppisberg Music Weeks in the small romantic Valais village of Goppisberg in the Aletsch region for serious music-making children and young people. Katharina Hardy was guided by the idea of intensively promoting the instrumental skills of young talents for three weeks during the school vacations. In the early years, the music weeks were held in the village of Goppisberg itself, but this proved to be too small a space for a larger number of participants. The Goppisberg Music Weeks were therefore moved to other locations in the Upper Valais. However, the old name remained, referring to the early days.
Since 1991, the music weeks have taken on an international character, with music students coming from Switzerland, Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Germany, Israel, Italy, Colombia, Poland, Russia, Spain, Hungary, Ukraine and the USA. Some of the teachers also come from these countries. Since 2007, Deborah Spiegel, violin, has been the new artistic director and concertmaster, and Ronny Spiegel, violin, is the conductor of the academy orchestra.
They are supported by their parents Piroska Spiegel Nyffenegger, Festival Director / Organization and Bruno Nyffenegger Spiegel / Technical Director. In 2019, the name Goppisberg Music Weeks was changed to Goppisberg Music Festival and Academy. This year it will take place for the eighth time at the Hotel Seaside in Spiez from July 20 - August 10. 2025 and we are a very big part of the Spiez International Music Weeks.
In addition to the concerts, there will also be three public house concerts in the Spiez Catholic Church.
