Auditorium Stravinski, July 3

KATIE MELUA
This is the third time Katie Melua comes to Montreux and this year she returns with her new album "Secret Symphony", released on March 5, 2012, which she will perform at the Auditorium Stravinski. The album was recorded with a symphony orchestra and is made up of covers from great songwriters which she appreciates, such as Ron Sexsmith.  “I always wanted to set up a project like this one, singing other people’s songs to bring to them my personal touch and my voice”.

Tickets for this event will be available at a later date.
