Arts et Lettres gives its thousandth concert at the Salle del Castillo in Vevey. Isabelle Faust, Tabea Zimmermann and Jean-Guihen Queyras play on Tuesday 8 December 2026 at 7 pm.
The story
In 1921, figures from Vevey gathered around the painter and sculptor Georges Aubert founded the Société des Arts de Vevey.
Ten years later, this society gave rise to the Arts et Lettres association.
The founders included the painters Steven-Paul Robert, Gaston Vaudou and Paul Perrelet, and the musicians François Demierre, Emile de Ribaupierre and Hermann Lang.
Their aim was to foster the arts and to build links between Vevey's artists and those from around the world.
The association runs a chamber music concert series, exhibitions and literary talks. Emile W. Rossier and then Michel Rossier played a key role in its growth.
