VERBIER FESTIVAL on medici.tv. Elite classical musicians from around the world are currently gathered in the Alpine Swiss village of Verbier for a festival, which celebrates its 25th year. For 10 straight hours, the festival will be streamed online — with performances, interviews and archival footage. At 5 a.m., two young and virtuosic musicians — the Romanian cellist Andrei Ionita and the South Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho — will play a recital of Beethoven, Schumann and more. The main gala concert will begin at noon, with a star-studded lineup that includes the pianists Evgeny Kissin and Yuja Wang; the violinists Lisa Batiashvili, Leonidas Kavakos and Pamela Frank; and the conductor and pianist Andras Schiff.
