The Conservatoire Populaire is one of Geneva’s leading music schools, providing arts education since 1932. It offers programs in music, dance, and theater for students of all ages and backgrounds. Its main venue, located near the Old Town, hosts a variety of performances and events throughout the year.
Led by founder Sogol Mirzaei, Ensemble Chakâm, winner of the Prix des Musiques d’Ici 2023, weaves Iranian radif, Arabic repertoire and baroque into a singular musical language. The trio of musicians trade bowed and plucked textures as strings dialogue, alternating between exalted surges and hushed breaths. Through original compositions and collaborative arrangements they give voice to intertwined stories of departure, loss, nostalgia, uprooting and renewal. The result is an intimate, luminous soundscape that balances scholarly tradition with inventive timbre.
