PulSion Winter Festival

The PulSion Winter Festival is an event initiated and organised by the PulSion student association of the HEMU Valais-Wallis, in collaboration with the Haute Ecole de Musique Vaud-Valais-Fribourg. The aim of the festival is to give students the opportunity to develop their artistic talents by performing in some of the most exceptional cultural venues in the Valais: Fondation Moret in Martigny, Fondation Opale in Lens, Fondation de Wolff in Sion, la Vidondée in Riddes, the Château Mercier in Sierre, the Jesuit Church in Sion, etc. For 5 days, the students of the HEMU Valais-Wallis give chamber music concerts with total freedom over the programming. More than half the students perform at the festival, making it one of the school’s flagship events.
