Sir András Schiff and Evgeny Kissin join at the piano for an intimate programme of pieces for two pianos and four hands. They perform Mozart’s Sonata in D major, KV 448, Schumann’s Andante and Variations, op. 46, and Bilder aus Osten, Smetana’s La Moldau in the four‑hand arrangement, plus selected Dvořák Slavonic Dances. The recital balances classical clarity with Romantic depth, highlighting refined ensemble interplay and the contrasting voices of two towering virtuosos.
The OSR and soloist Antoine Tamestit will perform Jörg Widmann’s Viola Concerto, a challenging piece that showcases the musician’s diverse skills. The program also features Wagner’s “The Ring Without Words,” an orchestral arrangement by Lorin Maazel that condenses fourteen hours of music into one hour. The event is conducted by Daniel Harding.
Bold and poetic, “Insuline” is a powerful denouncement of virilist and heteronormative excesses. Combining the sharp words of Lou Lepori, the music of Marc Berman, and the performance of Cédric Leproust, this fiery recital challenges conventions and unspoken norms. This queer show, driven by tumultuous and subversive expression, celebrates a body that rejects imposed normality.

Mariés au premier ringard is a sharp, character-driven theatrical comedy that dissects the absurdities of modern relationships with warmth and irony. The staging favors close ensemble interaction, a lean scenography and precise lighting that underline shifting loyalties and comic misunderstandings. Moments of tenderness puncture the satire, inviting reflection on intimacy, identity and the small rituals of coupling. It balances humour and poignancy to produce a lively theatrical pulse.

Created collectively by the company À l’Ouest with Guillaume Pidancet, this inventive staging reimagines Charles Perrault’s Bluebeard for families. Performed in a mobile truck‑theatre that becomes a ‘suitcase of dreams,’ the production blends playful storytelling, poetic imagery and close‑up interaction to transform a dark tale into a gentle exploration of curiosity and trust. The intimate ensemble features Pierre Boulben, Hugo Braillard and Loubna Raigneau.

Sara Oswald blends cello and voice into an intimate, mountain‑inflected sound world. The Vaud-born cellist presents selections from her 2022 solo album Bivouac, where bowed textures, plaintive melodies and sparse electronics conjure high-altitude atmospheres. Her work with Les Young Gods, Sophie Hunger and Pascal Oberson feeds an experimental yet lyrical approach. On stage she alternates fragile lyricism and raw resonance, shaping concentrated moments of reflection that linger in the listener’s memory.
Led by Christophe Godin, this quartet—Lynn Marring (bass, vocals), Pierre Michel (guitar, vocals) and Peter Puke (drums, vocals)—delivers a celebratory, high-voltage rock rooted in razor-sharp guitar lines and a massive groove. Rich backing vocals weave through propulsive rhythms and dense riffs, alternating between punchy drive and expansive melodic surges. The sound favors warmth and exuberance, offering a communal, feel-good energy that foregrounds instrumental precision and joyful immediacy.
