Don’t just like it, live it!
Primeurs Musicales is a dynamic classical music festival dedicated to discovering and supporting the next generation of musical talent. Showcasing outstanding young performers from conservatories and music academies, the festival creates meaningful opportunities for emerging artists to share the stage, collaborate with established musicians, and engage with new audiences. Through a diverse programme of concerts, chamber music performances, artistic encounters, and contemporary creations, Primeurs Musicales combines excellence, transmission, and innovation while making classical music more accessible, vibrant, and connected to today’s cultural landscape.
Step through local paths and green spaces at a thoughtful walking pace, guided by two specialists — a Rousseau scholar and a botanist. The stroll invites close, sensory attention to leaves, flowers and the hidden stories of plants, learning to recognise local species and their particularities. The rhythm of walking blends reflection and shared discovery, evoking Rousseau’s herb-gathering wanderings while offering a gentle physical experience that reconnects participants with the living landscape.
Starting point: Ferme du Lignon
In French.
Geneva’s Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp offers a nomadic musical odyssey that blends fervent rhythms, sonic experimentation and a spirit of freedom. For nearly twenty years the collective has shaped a distinctive sound: layered voices, interweaving textures and songs that confront the present without succumbing to despair. Carried by an impressive constellation of brass, strings, percussion, marimbas and guitars, more than fifteen musicians create generous, mobile and intensely alive music that moves between communal celebration and joyful escape.
Additional free performances:
Festival Sey’maz Musique invites the community to a lively four-day celebration of classical and contemporary music. The program blends chamber concerts, organ recitals, solo performances, electro-acoustic pieces and activities for young audiences, offering accessible and demanding repertoire presented in historic and cultural settings. Families, neighbours and music lovers of all backgrounds are welcome to come together, share experiences and discover new sounds through collaborative performances and participatory moments that foster connection and belonging.
Luis Marques presents DEEP BLUE and INTERMITTENCES, two series of drawing-based works that transform line into landscape, rhythm and breath. DEEP BLUE offers expansive fields of blue where delicate marks build textured, contemplative seascapes. INTERMITTENCES reworks reclaimed screen-print test papers, letting traces, stains and accidents enter a patient process of repeated lines. Using pens, markers and even sewing thread, Marques negotiates control and chance, producing intimate topographies that meditate on time, repetition, memory and material transformation.
Opening: 2 September, 18:00
Closing: 13 September, 18:00
Organized with BDS, CETIM and the Lebanese Film Festival, this programme reflects on the cultural and political reasons for boycotting an Allianz‑sponsored cinema day. It presents a curated shorts programme (Some Strings), whose formal experiments and intimate textures examine memory and connection; and the feature Un monde fragile & merveilleux, introduced live and followed by a videoconference with director Cyril Aris and actress Mounia Akl. Discussions include activists from BDS and aim to situate the cinematic work within broader political debates. Proceeds from the shorts session will be donated to the YAFFA association for Palestine.
In Arabic with French subtitles.
17:00 – SOME STRINGS de AA. VV. (short films)
Followed by a discussion on the reasons for the boycott with guests (in partnership with BDS Geneva).
19:00 – UN MONDE FRAGILE & MERVEILLEUX by Cyril Aris
Followed by a video conference with director Cyril Aris and actress Mounia Akl.
Directed by Aurélia Lüscher, Au Grand Passage stages a tender and questioning dialogue with her paternal grandmother and the spectral traces that linger among the living. Combining documentary inquiry and poetic dramaturgy, Lüscher conjures the voices of those who engage with the beyond amid a wax and mist décor that blurs visible and invisible. Drawing on readings like Magali Molinié and Vinciane Despret, the piece explores what cannot be resolved, using theatre’s spectral dimension to imagine passage between forms.
