Company description and purpose of company Engadin Festival

The history of the Engadin Festival goes back to 1940, when the Second World War raged around Switzerland. Times were difficult in Switzerland too, and the tourism industry lay idle. In this situation, the pastor of Silvaplana at the time, Ernst Schulthess, turned to the Kurverein von Sils and Silvaplana and suggested that a series of chamber music concerts be organized in the Engadin in order to contribute to the region's economic upturn . In July 1941, the first “Engadine Concert Weeks” opened with a concert in the mountain church in Val Fex. The Winterthur string quartet with the Zurich cellist Antonio Tusa interpreted Beethoven's string quartets. The Engadin Concert Weeks quickly became a magnet for everyone who had a reputation in the music world: the pianists Clara Haskil, Dinu Lipatti and Edwin Fischer performed, the cellist Pierre Fournier, the flutist Peter-Lukas Graf, the oboist Heinz Holliger and his wife, the harpist Ursula Holliger, but also orchestras such as the English Chamber Orchestra under Pinchas Zuckermann, the Collegium Musicum Zurich under Paul Sacher and the Berlin Philharmonic under Herbert von Karajan.
