A premier chamber music festival promoting a new generation of artists bringing a musical experience to the community in the heartland of Vaud. The mission is to establish a premier, community-focused chamber music festival in Bex. 

To successfully launch the first edition of the festival under the theme of "Showcase of HEMU Excellence," (Haute École de Musique – Lausanne), a world-class university in classics and jazz. Our plan is to build a loyal subscriber base and a strong foundation for future growth. The Festival will run on a monthly concert basis throughout the year, not simply in the summer or end-of-year holiday season. 

Musicians are drawn from Professors, performing Graduates, and especially students enrolled in the Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral Programs of HEMU. They will perform as soloists, in duets, trios, quartets, small chamber orchestras, and eventually by academic year-end at the week-long Annual Bex Music Festival in late August- early September in small, medium and large scale symphonic orchestras. 

These performing artists will encourage young musicians in Bex and the surrounding Chablais region along the Rhone Valley from Martigney to Monthey, Ollon, Villars-sur-Ollons, Aigle, Villeneuve, to Vevey and villages in between to enjoy, listen to, learn and perform themselves on musical instruments. This will spawn a new generation of musicians, both amateur and professional, to develop and expand their playing and performance skills. 40% of children in Bex, with a population of +8,000, already play musical instruments. 

This project, as an educational experience, will accelerate their interest, enthusiasm and participation in all forms of music from the classics as the basic building block, to jazz, modern, popular, traditional, choral and all forms of musical pleasure. This will enhance everyone's personal and communal long term interest in doing so. 

Learning how to read, play, enjoy and participate in musical venues is well known as one of the best building blocks of expanding one's mind and capacities as teenagers and adults into an evolving wide range of interests, careers and character-building in life.
