Abstract

The town of Altdorf in Uri, Switzerland is home to the biennial Alpentöne Festival. The most recent iteration took place, live and on-site, in August 2021. Sharon Specker speaks with four people involved in its realization: Barbara Betschart, one of the artistic directors; Pius Knüsel, the executive director, Roland Dahinden, trombonist and composer; and Roland Schiltknecht, hammered dulcimer player.
