Led by Baxter Dury with production collaboration from Paul Epworth, this concert presents songs from the Allbarone album in a blend of pop, spoken-word and electronica. Dury’s dry Cockney wit and narrative lyrics meet retro‑futurist melodies and pulsing electronic textures, creating intimate yet danceable moments. The sparse arrangements and warm, precise production foreground his voice and storytelling, inviting listeners into a nocturnal, slightly sardonic soundworld that balances irony and tenderness.
For its first Christmas programme, Les Ondes invites audiences on a musical journey through the rich British tradition of Christmas Carols with Peace on Earth, at St Pierre Cathedral in Geneva. Blending a cappella works with organ-accompanied pieces performed by Margot Boitard, under the direction of Léonie Cachelin, the programme spans centuries of sacred and popular heritage and features the luminous Peace on Earth by American composer Amy Beach, whose message remains profoundly relevant.
