Violinist Janine Jansen, cellist Steven Isserlis and friends perform Schubert's String Quintet in Verbier's intimate church.

And to end this week's series of programmes from the 2023 Verbier Festival, there's another movement from Bach's Partita no. 6 played by Alexandra Dovgan, just a few days after her sixteenth birthday.
