The Cathédrale Saint-Pierre, once a Roman Catholic cathedral, became a place of Protestant worship during the Reformation. today, it stands as an iconic symbol of the city, dominating Geneva’s skyline from the heart of the old town. From the cathedral’s north tower, one is treated to an incredible panoramic view of the city and the lake. The cathedral also houses a vast archaeological site filled with treasures dating back to antiquity.
The Saint Pierre Cathedral will be aglow with the light of over 2,000 candles during the “Saint-Pierre en Lumière” event. Each evening, talented musicians will perform, enhancing the magical atmosphere with their music.
The Cathedral of Geneva features three cantatas from J.S. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, performed by the Ensemble Vocal Pierre de Lune and the Ensemble Instrumental Romand under Emmanuel Junod’s direction. Cantatas No. I, III, and VI depict the birth of Jesus, the adoration of the shepherds, and the visit of the Magi. Soloists Clémence Tilquin, Cristina Segura, Valério Contaldo, and Alexandre Beuchat will contribute to this concert, organized by the Fondation des Concerts de la Cathédrale.
