This summer, soundSCAPE Festival will be moving to our new home at the Hindemith Music Centre in Blonay, Switzerland. Featuring state-of-the-art practice facilities and lodging overlooking scenic Lake Geneva, the centre will be an inspiring place for our participants to collaborate and create new music.

The property is surrounded by a 17,000 m² park with old trees, providing a view onto Lake Geneva and the Alps. The beauty and peace of these surroundings encourage concentrated work, at the same time offering restful relaxation.
