Located on the edge of Geneva’s old town, the Alhambra has been part of the city’s cultural landscape since its establishment in 1920. It primarily serves as a venue for contemporary music events, organized by private entities and non-profit associations. The venue also hosts concerts and events during Geneva’s many festivals, offering a diverse range of musical performances.
Laboratorium Pieśni invites listeners into a luminous world of global polyphony, presenting original arrangements of Slavic, Balkan and Baltic songs alongside new compositions from their creative laboratory. Seven women — Alina Jurczyszyn, Kamila Bigus, Lila Bosowska, Iwona Bajger, Magda Jurczyszyn-Turło, Alina Klebba and Karolina Stawiszyńska-Wiatrow — weave a cappella and instrumentally accompanied textures (drums, shruti box, flutes, chimes) into intimate soundscapes. An exploration of voice, improvisation and nature, SEPTEM traces cycles of creation, intuition and collective harmony.
Sasha Vasilyev and the legendary rock band Splean offer a powerful evening of electric rock that melds driving rhythms with melancholic lyricism. With a repertoire spanning more than thirty years, the group balances sing-along hits and recent compositions, delivered through Vasilyev’s distinctive, charismatic voice. The performance emphasizes emotional directness and dynamic contrasts, from raucous climaxes to intimate moments, creating a cathartic and communal atmosphere that traces the band’s long musical arc.
Under his Warhaus moniker, Maarten Devoldere transforms dandy elegance into nocturnal, sensual pop. His deep, exposed vocals and sharp, grime-tinged rhythms push familiar melodies toward feverish abandon, blending hypnotic lyrics with gqom-inspired beats. Across five albums he navigates seduction, melancholy and bristling intensity, channeling echoes of Leonard Cohen, Serge Gainsbourg and Tom Waits. The live show alternates intimacy and eruption, a chiaroscuro of refinement and raw electricity that lingers long after the last chord.
Gisela João is one of the most compelling voices in contemporary fado. She reshapes the genre by anchoring its poetic melancholy in the present, combining intimate nuance with an unpredictable stage presence. Her voice conveys desire, rebellion and a buoyant love of life, moving from hushed confessions to soaring, cathartic outbursts. The performance balances traditional fado phrasing with modern expression, creating a living, breathing soundscape that invites both quiet reflection and visceral feeling.
Théa delivers a raw, combustible set that channels revolt and despair through intense lyrics and a bold musical fusion. Drawing on punk urgency, rave pulsations, emocore vulnerability and glossy (ultra)pop hooks, the artist balances abrasive energy with melodic clarity. The performance favors visceral vocal delivery, high-tension arrangements and immersive dynamics that invite both catharsis and reflection. Minimal staging foregrounds the music and emotional immediacy.
Jeanne, propelled to fame by the hit “Respire fort” (25 million streams and certified gold), embarks on her first solo tour in an intimate concert setting. The performance blends confessional songwriting and delicate arrangements, alternating hushed, introspective moments with soaring choruses. Presented by Voix de Fête, the show foregrounds Jeanne’s voice and storytelling, creating a close, atmospheric exchange between artist and audience, where sincerity and musical nuance shape the emotional arc.
