Musiques Interdites recreates the charged atmosphere of a Weimar-era cabaret where humour, poetry and music become acts of resistance. Hosted by Lucile Richardot and Éléonore Pancrazi, the evening revives works banned under Nazi rule—jazz, pieces by Jewish and politically persecuted composers—and blends songs, instrumental numbers and recomposed arrangements. The production foregrounds the subversive power of art, evoking both the creative freedom pursued by artists and the fear and repression that sought to silence them.
Led by conductor Raphaël Merlin and featuring violinist Nemanja Radulović, this concert pairs Prokofiev’s luminous Second Violin Concerto with Brahms’s First Serenade.

The Geneva Chamber Orchestra shapes intimate textures and bold crescendos, sculpted through attentive phrasing and dynamic contrasts to create a colourful, emotionally rich opening to the season.
