Voix de Fête brings a week of concerts and community music events in Geneva, presenting diverse genres and shared performances. It invites everyone—residents and visitors—to come together, enjoy live sets and collective music experiences, and support local and touring artists. Programming includes a variety of acts, with performances by artists such as Meryl, Miki, Médine and Suzane. The festival fosters connections across the community through music and convivial gatherings.
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.
Neverland is a chamber opera directed by Julien Chavaz with music by Sarah Nemtsov and performed with Ensemble Contrechamps. The piece inverts the Peter Pan myth, presenting an unsettling child who refuses to grow and becomes trapped in a frozen eternity. Nemtsov’s score blends whispered voices, dense orchestral textures and electronic fragments to shape a fragile, tectonic sound world. Staging, lighting and costumes transform a shifting house where memory, fear and metamorphosis are embodied.
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.

J-Pat is a likable schlaps in this one-man show that blends humour and lightness. Written by Blaise Granget and Marc Zucchello and directed by Marc Zucchello, the performance features Blaise Granget and Damien Naïmi. Through virtuosic violin, rap and a taste for fine cars, the character oscillates between erudition and pop culture—from Seneca to Frida Kahlo and Frozen—building sharp social observations and personal struggles.
