Icons
The twelve concerts over ten days (31 July – 9 August 2026) are themed around “Icons”, which refers not only to iconic works, but also to artists who have become true role models in their field
The 2026 festival will be held under the theme “Icons”, bringing together leading artists such as Bryn Terfel, Miloš, Maurice Steger and Sir András Schiff. Alongside the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen conducted by Edward Gardner and the Camerata Salzburg under Antonello Manacorda, the programme features chamber music with the Pacific Quintet and Septura Brass, a film music concert to Amadeus, and, as its grand finale on 9 August, Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante and Elgar’s Enigma Variations with Veronika Eberle and Timothy Ridout – marking David Whelton’s farewell as Artistic Director.

St. Jacob’s Church
The church of St. Jacob in Klosters is the main concert room for Klosters Music. The building is fabulous for its acoustic and warmth atmosphere.
In the church of St. Jacob itself there is always something unknown to discover or old familiar things to see with new eyes.
There’s the history of the church's origins, the exciting interior of the church tower and the wonderful stained glass windows by Augusto Giacometti.
And last but not least St. Jacob’s Church has a wonderful new organ, built by Orgelbau Goll in Luzern and inaugurated in October 2018.
