Situated in the heart of Geneva, the Temple de la Madeleine (also known as Espace Madeleine) is a 15th-century church that functions as an active Protestant place of worship. Since the 1960s, it has served the Swiss German parish of Geneva. Beyond its religious role, this historic site transforms into a versatile venue, hosting a variety of events such as concerts, workshops, and discussions, thereby enriching the cultural fabric of the community.
Ensemble Musicâme France presents a programme of fiery passion and intimate lyricism, weaving Tchaikovsky, Puccini, Massenet, Bizet, Saint-Saëns and Queen into a textured evening. Flutist Issam Garfi and solo violinist Christophe Quatremer join Claire Dassesse (second violin), Mariam Rüetschi (viola) and Aude Dassesse (cello) to alternate sweeping gestures and fragile, tender episodes. Dynamic contrasts and carefully shaped soundscapes move from dramatic surges to hushed vulnerability, creating a visceral, heart‑felt voyage.
