Davos Festival - Young Artists in Concert under the motto “von Sinnen”

With a lot of creativity and flexibility the 35th Davos Festival could take place despite Corona

With the choice of this year’s motto “von Sinnen” for the Music Festival, which took place in Davos from July 31st to August 15th, artistic director Marco Amherd has earned himself the reputation of a clairvoyant. 90 artists from all over the world travelled to the Swiss alpine resort despite the unusual times and presented an extraordinary festival programme. More than 70 concerts and offers such as the Open Singing, the Open Stages, a workshop discussion and the Sinnbox make the festival a unique experience.

Main venue at the Hotel Schweizerhof

The main venue this year was the Hotel Schweizerhof. The approximately 400 m² large event hall of the hotel offers in the current Corona times place for approximately 175 listeners. With its charming ambience, the hall is primarily designed for speaking with microphones and the necessary reverberation for making music is absent. By using the electronic room acoustic system VIVACE for the first time this year, a lively and captivating atmosphere could finally be created acoustically. With the temporary installation of the VIVACE system, the existing acoustics were expanded to a natural concert hall sound, which enthused visitors, musicians and critics equally.

Our first temporary event 2020

Since all of our previously planned temporary installations had to be cancelled due to the Corona-related ban on events, the trip to Davos was our first VIVACE deployment for a temporary installation this year. We are very happy to have been a part of this great event and to have contributed to the success of this festival.
