Geneva Brass — Listening to the Stars

Geneva Brass and astrophysicist Eugenio Fiore-Alba combine music and sky‑watching in an immersive nocturnal programme. The brass quintet’s resonant timbres frame excerpts from Strauss, Holst and Messiaen alongside contemporary pieces, while live scientific commentary opens a horizon of stars and stories. The collaboration balances musical sweep and contemplative narration, alternating radiant brass sonorities with quiet moments of wonder, inviting listeners into a suspended, sensory experience where sound and starlight entwine.

Directed by Louis Bonard, Les Voüéces follows two reclusive women, Rodogonde and Frénéjus, who live atop a high tower.

The performance probes silence, the passage of time, guilt and the unsettling presence of other voices — ghostly, culpable or absurd — with a blend of darkness and dark humour.
