Two musical worlds, one raw intensity. Grungehog revives the visceral spirit of 1990s Seattle, drawing on the legacy of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains to deliver honest, unadorned rock driven by gritty riffs and emotional vocals. Supporting trio Gédéon offers groovy folk-rock with seventies echoes, singing in French and Spanish; acoustic guitar, banjo, dobro and percussion weave an intimate, hypnotic sound. The evening balances electric intensity with organic tenderness.
Scène Vagabonde’s seventh edition brings a compact program of contemporary theatre and music, presenting three contrasting stage works — “Par le bout du nez”, “Quadrille” and “Prima facie” — alongside a concert by Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp as part of La Bâtie-Festival de Genève. Across intimate stagings the festival favors inventive direction, close ensemble interplay and a balance of wit and intensity, offering encounters that privilege physical presence, tonal variety and rigorous dramaturgy.
Three organ recitals offering intimate portraits of the instrument through contrasting programmes by Damien Desbenoit, Stéphane Mottoul and Jan Lehtola. Each recital balances baroque, romantic and contemporary repertoire, emphasizing registration, timbral contrasts and the acoustic dialogue between instrument and space. Performances favour attentive, contemplative listening and showcase the performers’ interpretive finesse. Programme notes and detailed PDFs are available for each recital.
Free tented festival that began as a springboard for local amateur rock bands and has grown to welcome acts of many genres and wider origins, performing on a professional stage. Organized by volunteers, the event invites families, friends and neighbours to share relaxed live music, discover emerging talent and connect with the local scene. The atmosphere is friendly and inclusive, offering a place for the whole community to gather and celebrate music together.
Conductor Thierry Besançon leads the Orchestre symphonique Bande-Son in Tolga Kashif’s Queen Symphony, a symphonic reimagining of Queen’s legendary songs. Soloists Didier Coenegracht and Ekaterina Shelehova join the orchestra and a 170-strong choir to fuse rock’s immediacy with orchestral lyricism. The programme weaves towering vocal harmonies, dense orchestral textures and dramatic climaxes, creating moments of grandeur and intimate reflection. The evening unfolds a theatrical soundscape that blurs genre boundaries and celebrates musical drama.
Quim Roscas and Zeca Estacionâncio form a seasoned comic-musical duo whose 25-year collaboration blends comedy, live music and spontaneous improvisation. On stage they embody a duo of playful characters, shifting between sharp satire and tender moments, using song, instrumental interludes and audience exchange to build layered narratives. Their performances balance rhythmic musicianship with theatrical timing, creating an intimate, joyous atmosphere that privileges surprise, vocal colour and human warmth.
Chronicle of a fleeting liaison, this intimate theatrical piece examines the fragile architecture of desire and memory. Through concentrated scenes, the company maps the emotional aftershocks of a brief relationship, shifting between candid dialogue and charged silences. Lighting and sparse staging heighten moments of intimacy, while an attentive ensemble navigates tonal shifts from tenderness to unease. The production favors close observation and emotional clarity, inviting reflection on attachment and the traces left behind.
