Since its first edition in 1992, this free popular festival celebrates music and encourages everyone to make and enjoy it. It showcases the musical diversity of the greater Geneva area through performances by professional and amateur artists, schools and cultural institutions, plus community projects and co-productions. The program brings neighbours together across stages and styles, offering a friendly space for shared listening, participation and discovery.
Nina Azoulai delivers a funny, liberating solo show that explores the paths others plan for us and the routes we finally take. With sharp observational humour and candid storytelling, she revisits a life shaped by expectations — a steady job, a reliable partner, children — and the awkward, tender moments that followed when she chose differently. The piece blends intimate confession, precise comic timing and warm audience rapport to examine identity, family and reinvention.

Choreographers and performers Katerina Andreou and Mélissa Guex devise SHOUT TWICE as a physical, hybrid concert-performance where the body and voice become material. The piece transforms raw cries into collective energy, mixing movement, vocal textures and improvised dynamics. Intense and immediate, the work invites shared ritual, opening space for excess, play and communal release. The staging is nomadic and non-verbal, driven by bodily resonance and embodied sound.
Presented by Greta Gratos, Arboretum #32 brings together an eclectic programme of live performances by Ubuntu Live, AZAR, Ignat Khlobystin, Un coglione e due musicisti, El Flecha & Friends and FanzinoGE. The evening blends experimental sound, improvisation and collaborative energy, creating intimate moments and bold sonic contrasts. Visual identity by Manon Fourdrignier complements the performances, reinforcing a DIY, communal atmosphere focused on exploration and spontaneous interaction.
Conductor Ferran Gili-Millera leads the municipal wind ensemble through a vivid, eclectic programme that spans cinematic themes, jazz classics and contemporary wind repertoire. The concert juxtaposes works by Thierry Deleruyelle, Marcel Peeters and Jacob de Haan with beloved film melodies from Joe Hisaishi, John Williams and Hans Zimmer, plus jazz arrangements evoking Duke Ellington. The band’s precise dynamics and warm, sustained sonorities shape an emotional arc from playful lyricism to sweeping heroic fanfares, placing the orchestral wind palette at the centre.
Led by the trio La Nouvelle Saison, this intimate apéro-concert blends English pop-folk ballads with songs in French and Italian. Stéphanie Palazzo’s luminous voice and piano intertwine with Alex Lodo’s guitar and Giacomo Grandi’s cello, creating warm, travel-tinged textures. The performance favors close listening and gentle dynamics, moving from delicate simplicity to rich, resonant swells. Its atmosphere is convivial and reflective, inviting shared moments and subtle emotional shifts.
Directed as an in situ promenade, this performance follows two protagonists, P. and B., through the city’s hidden seams. B. conspires to seed an exuberant vegetal uprising, mastering invasive plants to unsettle urban order. P. slips into the city’s blind spots, picking locks and slipping through barriers to reveal alternative ways of inhabiting public space. The show mixes physical theatre, poetic staging and ecological imagination to explore rewilding, intimacy and civic subversion.
