Conductor Eva Ollikainen leads a programme juxtaposing contemporary and romantic Finnish voices with international mastery. Soprano Anu Komsi and cellist Lionel Cottet join the orchestra for Kaija Saariaho’s Mirage, Jean Sibelius’s Fantasia The Daughter of Pohjola and the symphonic poem Luonnottar, and Tchaikovsky’s deeply expressive Sixth Symphony, the ‘Pathétique’. The evening unfolds through rich orchestral colours, luminous vocal writing and a sweeping narrative arc.

Conceived as a tribute to Luciano Pavarotti, this opera gala reunites the Orchestra Filarmonica Pugliese under the baton of Plácido Domingo, with tenor Vittorio Grigolo and soprano Varduhi Khachatryan. The programme celebrates operatic lyricism and the golden-voiced tradition, alternating soaring arias and intimate duets. The focus is on vocal color, expressive phrasing and rich orchestral textures that frame dramatic peaks and quiet moments of nostalgia. The evening promises luminous virtuosity and deeply felt musical storytelling.

Led by conductor and pianist Louis Schwizgebel, this charity concert brings together pianists Emanuelle Meloni and Marie‑Françoise de Bourgknecht and singer Fanny Leeb in a programme spanning Schumann’s Piano Concerto Op.54, Bach’s Two‑pianos Concerto BWV 1062, excerpts from Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances and a soulful rendition of Etta James’s “At Last”. The evening stitches Romantic depth, Baroque clarity and popular warmth into an intimate, uplifting sound world that foregrounds solidarity and emotional resonance.

Stephan Eicher leads a luminous ensemble on vocals and guitar, joined by Martin Gallop (acoustic guitar, keyboards, vocals), Simon Gerber (bass, vocals), Tom Vanstiphout (acoustic and electric guitars, vocals) and Tommy Baldu (drums). Across a career of over forty years his distinctive voice and stylistic versatility move between chanson, rock and subtle pop textures, blending languages and moods. Sparse arrangements and warm instrumental colours create an intimate, reflective atmosphere that invites close listening and emotional resonance.

Led by conductor Frédéric Théodoloz, the Brass Band Arquebuse Genève presents a benefit programme juxtaposing the sombre textures of Shostakovich with Mendelssohn’s lyrical clarity, featuring soloist Kevin Buchard, and the pictorial sweep of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. The band’s brass sonorities and precise rhythmic drive transform orchestral colours into a vivid soundscape, alternating intimate murmurs and brilliant fanfares. The evening unfolds as a cinematic journey, balancing muscular power with moments of surprising intimacy. Concert in favor of diabète genève.
