The Verbier Festival Orchestra backstage

FR — À l’occasion du 30ème anniversaire du Verbier Festival, j’ai le plaisir de publier un projet personnel réalisé au cours des dernières éditions. Il comprend plusieurs séries de portraits d’artistes réalisés pour une diffusion numérique en format story, ainsi que d’une exposition photographique déployée sur l’esplanade des Combins à Verbier :

Pour fêter son 30° anniversaire, le Verbier Festival dévoile une série de photographies inédites réalisée par Nicolas Brodard. Au plus près des artistes, le photographe entretient une relation de confiance depuis des années avec les virtuoses du Verbier Festival. De la scène aux coulisses, il capture, plus que l'histoire du festival, l'intensité, la joie, la préparation, le calme et l'excellence.
Ses images entraînent le public dans les profondeurs de la création, elles invitent à contempler l'aura des musiciens, leur personnalité, leur singularité, et témoignent avec justesse de leur virtuosité.

EN — To mark the 30th anniversary of the Verbier Festival, I'm pleased to release a personal project I've been working on over the last editions of the Festival. It consists of several series of portraits of artists produced for digital publication in story format, as well as a photographic exhibition on the Combins esplanade in Verbier :

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Verbier Festival is unveiling a series of previously unseen photographs by Nicolas Brodard. As close to the artists as possible, the photographer has maintained a relationship of trust with the virtuosos of the Verbier Festival for many years. From the stage to backstage, he captures, more than the history of the Festival, the intensity, the joy, the preparation, the calm and the excellence.
His images take the public into the depths of creation, inviting us to contemplate the aura of the musicians, their personality, their singularity, and aptly testifying to their virtuosity.
