A 20-minute “Magic of Lights Medley” is performed live in the park of the Resort Hof Weissbad. Daniel Moos (keyboards), Tea Vitali (violin), and Milo Ferrazzini (cello) present highlights from classical music, film scores, pop, and musicals.

From W. A. Mozart’s “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” to “Hymne à l’amour” by E. Piaf and the “Barcarolle,” all the way to “Someday My Prince Will Come” from Snow White and other surprises that will premiere at the “Magic of Lights 2027,” we’ve also selected some of our many young guests’ favorite songs.

The three internationally acclaimed musicians have arranged the medley for “Magical Lights 2027” and guarantee a first-class, one-of-a-kind concert experience exclusively at the Resort Hof Weissbad—even at temperatures as low as –5 °C.

NOA – The Art Behind the Magic of Lights

The light installations are created in collaboration with NOA, led by Primo Berera and Giancarlo Pallioppi. Since 2009, this multidisciplinary artist collective has been developing light art and immersive installations for international projects and public spaces.
