The Swiss pianist Oliver Schnyder has resigned as head of Davos before his first festival has come to fruition.

‘Unfortunately Oliver Schnyder has informed us that his artistic-interpretive and pedagogical activities were incompatible with the role of an artistic director,’ said the festival chairman.

In other words, you can’t eat your cake and have it.

Oliver will see out next summer’s festival, leaving at the end of August.
