GAIA Kammermusikfestival in Thun, Schweiz

Hi Gwendolyn,

You are simply astounding!
You are truly gifted. From the heart, you share your gift with others and have done so much with your gift.
Your GAIA Festival offers truly uplifting experiences. You & the great artists around you have been fantastic and your connection to music & the way you express it on the violin is so real & so natural. You don’t just play violin, you own it.
You & the talented artists you work with are certainly a positive force. I wish you all good things in the years to come.
In a chaotic world, you have renewed my faith in people.

Thanks to GAIA the place exists where we as musicians can still feel as musicians! I always dreamed about this kind of place and people, feeling like family and making music on the highest level.The work and concerts will be always on my mind….Yevgeny Yehudin

Thank you so much for you kindness and generosity for the days at Gaia as it was such a privilege to watch so many talented musicians playing such glorious repertoire together each night. I especially liked the introduction to each player with a concerto with orchestra at the beginning as this is not something most festivals do and thought it was a really nice touch – it really was a joy to listen to.

Thank you so much for a memorable experience at the Gaia Festival. The whole experience was inspirational and it was a pleasure to meet and play with all the wonderful musicians and to have been welcomed with open arms by Gwendolyn. Staying in the countryside to rehearse in peace and quiet with trips through stunning scenery to play some of the greatest chamber music repertoire in beautiful venues was a dream. The orchestra were a joy. Wishing the Gaia Festival many happy returns.
All Best Wishes,
Guy

Das GAIA Kammermusikfestival ist für mich ein Ort, wo ich wunderbare Musik gespielt von liebenswürdigen und genialen Menschen, hören kann. Das GAIA Festival war auch dieses Jahr ein voller Erfolg in jeder Hinsicht. Es war wunderbar!!! Es ist aber auch immer ein Wiedersehen mit meiner lustigen, humorvollen, witzigen, lieben früheren Geigenlehrerin Gwendolyn.

What a festival it was! I’d like to thank all the musicians for weaving notes into dreams, and dreams into reality - be it only for a moment. A moment that resounds in me days after the last chord is over.
i’d like to thank all the members of the committee for letting me participate in this unforgettable experience.
