Nestled in the heart of Geneva’s Old Town, the Museum of Art and History ranks among Switzerland’s largest museums. Boasting a collection of around 650,000 objects spanning applied arts, fine arts, and archaeology across five floors, the museum embraces a dynamic and innovative approach to showcase its treasures through unexpected exhibitions. Annually, it hosts approximately ten temporary exhibitions, frequently inviting contemporary artists to contribute. The museum organizes a variety of surprising events, including yoga classes in the galleries and after-work parties.
Apérovisites offers an intimate encounter between music and visual art. A soloist and an instrumentalist respond to a single painting, guiding participants through attentive listening and focused observation. The session examines how musical textures, timbre and phrasing can illuminate visual narratives and emotional nuances, prompting discussion and reflection. Participants gain tools to connect sound and image and to deepen their perception of artworks through interdisciplinary listening exercises.

Given carte blanche to Alicja Kwade in spring 2027, this programme pairs music with the artist’s exhibition. Three musicians from the Ensemble perform short programmes within the museum spaces, creating acoustic dialogues with Kwade’s sculptural and conceptual work. The performances explore resonance, scale and perception, inviting attentive listening and subtle shifts in how objects and sound relate. Intimate and atmospheric, the project blends contemporary composition and curated listening in an exploratory, contemplative register.
