Communiqué par le ministère de la culture

Created in 2023, the Diabelli Variations have truly entered a new era.

I’m incredibly proud to be part of an initiative that marks another important step toward the full integration of female composers into the classical music world.

From February 18th to 21st, the complete Diabelli Variations will be performed — both the original male‑composed variations and the new female‑composed variations premiered in 2023.

There is no hierarchy, no separation, no distinction. We stand together simply as composers, equally represented and equally heard.

The festival promises to be exceptional, and I warmly encourage you to book your tickets at www.topklassik.ch.

You can find the flyer at this link, and the full program is also available here.

My variation will be performed on Friday, February 20th, 2026, during the 19:00 session.
