Located within the EMA music school in the Plainpalais district, Le Chaudron is one of the school’s concert and recording venues. Throughout the year, it hosts a diverse array of concerts featuring contemporary artists spanning genres from jazz to metal. These performances are occasionally preceded by masterclasses conducted by the guest musicians, providing a unique opportunity for both students and the public to engage with accomplished professionals in an intimate setting.
Coordinated by Stan Breynaert, this evening presents two PrePro projects by student artists CHIARA and GABRIEL, showcasing distinct musical worlds and personal approaches to composition and performance. The programme foregrounds experimentation and close artistic exchange, with the performers sharing emerging work while receiving attentive feedback from external experts. Staging favors immediacy and listening, alternating intimate moments and expansive soundscapes to create a reflective, exploratory atmosphere that reveals the creative processes of tomorrow’s musicians.
Christophe Godin and his team invite participants to take the stage, unleash roaring riffs, and trade blazing solos in an evening of raw live energy. Whether playing or watching, expect an electric, generous and unpredictable performance where musical passion is embraced wholeheartedly and with kindness. The repertoire offered encourages spontaneous collaboration, playful improvisation and an intense shared experience among musicians and audience.

Matthieu Llodra and Valentin Liechti reunite as a duo to revisit their electronic roots in a set that blends improvised performance with the rhythmic energy of House, Jungle and Broken Beat.

The evening promises an exploratory, club-oriented soundscape that balances nostalgia with improvisational freedom.
