Conceived with cellist François Kieffer, this programme presents the dramatic sweep of Beethoven’s late and early string quartets. The third concert pairs Quatuor Leonkoro — Jonathan Schwarz, Emiri Kakiuchi, Mayu Konoe and Lukas Schwarz — with Quatuor Agate — Adrien Jurkovic, Juliette Beauchamp, Raphaël Pagnon and Simon Iachemet. Expect a journey from the buoyant Op. 18 No. 4 to the profound Op. 131, culminating in Op. 130’s Allegro and the monumental Große Fuge (Op. 133), rendered with clarity and intensity.

Leonardo García-Alarcón leads a luminous revival of Francesco Cavalli’s Ercole amante, assembling Cappella Mediterranea with the Chœur de Chambre de Namur and the Opéra de Dijon choir. This production balances sumptuous baroque spectacle and intimate drama, with a cast including Milan Siljanov, Mariana Flores and Solenn’ Lavanant Linke. The staging blends dance, vivid orchestral colors and expressive vocal writing to reveal human passions beneath mythic grandeur, offering a refined and moving operatic experience.

With Parfums, the concert becomes a total sensory experience led by François Cardey and the Ensemble Agamemnon. Renaissance and early Baroque repertoire is woven with an original olfactory layer: three fragrances spatialized by studio Magique, designed to unfold in dialogue with motets, madrigals and historical « arabi odori » reconstructed by Alexandre Helwani. Principal singers Amandine Trenc and Marc Mauillon join an ensemble of cornet, violin, viola da gamba, lirone, harp, harpsichord and organ, creating an intimate, immersive soundworld.

Conceived and staged by Silvina Peruglia, this intimate concert-theatre interrogates love, loss and redemption through three central voices of fin-de-siècle Vienna: Gustav Mahler, Arnold Schoenberg and Alma Mahler. The programme interlaces instrumental and vocal writing — Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, selections of Alma Mahler songs and Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht — into a continuous dramatic arc. Katarina Bradić (mezzo-soprano) and Benjamin Appl (baritone) lead a focused ensemble; spare staging, pronounced visual and lighting work heighten the emotional intensity. Coproduction with Orchestre de Chambre de Genève.

Led by Pablo Agudo López and performed by Ensemble Les Impertinences, this baroque concert blends seventeenth century idioms with Venezuelan and broader Latin American influences. The project reimagines Pietro Antonio Cesti’s Il pomo d’oro as a dialogue between Cesti’s musical language and contemporary Venezuelan textures. A core period instrumental group is enriched by piano, cuatro venezolano, seven string guitar, Afro American percussion and minimoog. Ten soloists take on multiple roles, reinforcing the performance’s theatrical and fluid character. Coproduced with Les Impertinences and HEM Genève.
