Under the baton of Jean-Christophe Monnier, the Orchestre d’harmonie de l’État de Genève (OHGe) presents a programme of French repertoire spanning lyrical charm and dramatic sweep. Cellist Lionel Cottet features as solo voice amidst lush wind textures, shifting between filigreed melodies and bold, cinematic gestures. From Delibes’ grace to Honegger’s modern intensity, Saint-Saëns and Berlioz’s orchestral colour, and Legrand’s evocative filmic idiom, the evening explores timbre, momentum and expressive contrasts that move from intimate lyricism to radiant climaxes.
