Following their success in 2024, Casco Phil returns to the Léman Bouquet Festival in 2025 — a vibrant multi-day celebration of classical music and jazz along the scenic shores of Lake Geneva.

In the picturesque harbour town of Yvoire, the string players of Casco Phil present a rich and expressive programme, showcasing highlights from the string orchestra repertoire — a domain where many composers have written their most intimate and refined music.

From Mozart’s sparkling divertimenti, which elevated casual entertainment music to concert status, to the warm, symphonic textures of Brahms, and the baroque-inspired dance forms of Grieg’s Holberg Suite. The evening closes with one of the most moving pieces ever written for strings: Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings — a timeless emotional journey.

A summer evening filled with resonance, reflection and beauty — set against the magical backdrop of the Léman region.
