Swiss Gala 2026

Unsere Alumni sind eingeladen:

The Swiss Gala 2026 will be hosted on Saturday, March 14, 2026 and we have again secured the wonderful event location at 583 Park Ave, New York. This year’s Gala will feature a delicious three-course dinner, including a vegan option, along with an open bar, and a scrumptious candy corner. Guests can capture memories at our photo wall and photo booth, enjoy an engaging fireside chat with our Guest of Honor, have the ability to win exclusive prizes in our exciting silent auction, and dance along the live band entertainment into the night. The evening promises plenty of opportunities to connect and celebrate in a vibrant, festive atmosphere.

We are honored to welcome Kathryn Bradney, Swiss-American Artistic & Executive Director of the Prix de Lausanne, as our Guest of Honor for the Swiss Gala 2026. A former Principal Dancer with Maurice Béjart’s Ballet Lausanne, Kathryn has built an exceptional international career as a performer, teacher, and choreographer. Since 2018, she has led the Prix de Lausanne—the world’s premier ballet competition—continuing its mission to discover and nurture young talent across the globe.
