Camané, a leading figure of contemporary fado, offers an intimate, lyric-driven performance where voice shapes narrative and silence becomes breath. His elegant restraint and deep attention to lyrics bring out melancholy, memory and light. Joined by José Manuel Neto (Portuguese guitar), Carlos Manuel Proença (acoustic guitar) and Paulo Paz (double bass), the quartet builds precise arrangements and rich textures that balance tradition and renewal. The result is a suspended, inward musical journey of subtle intensity.
Led by bassist and vocalist Avishai Cohen, this quintet features Yuval Drabkin (saxophone), Yonatan Voltzok (trombone), Itay Simhovich (piano) and Eviatar Slivnik (drums). The program blends lyrical jazz with Eastern melodies and spirited improvisation, alternating intimate, warm ballads with explosive ensemble passages. Cohen’s warm tone and joyful phrasing anchor the music, while the young band’s interplay creates rich textures, rhythmic drive and moments of poignant beauty that draw listeners into an immediate, emotional sound world.
Conducted by Ton Koopman, this performance reunites the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande with soloists and students from the Haute École de Musique to bring Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony to life. Soprano Talia Or, mezzo Susanne Schimmack, tenor Anicio Zorzi Giustiniani and baritone Ivan Thirion join the vocal department in a rendition that foregrounds the Ode to Joy as an emblem of fraternity and hope. The interpretation balances monumental orchestral climaxes and intimate choral passages, offering a communal, cathartic listening experience.
Ara Malikian leads his ensemble in Intruso, a virtuosic programme where Bach and Mozart converse with jazz, flamenco, klezmer and Cuban rhythms. Malikian’s fiery violin anchors improvisatory exchanges alongside Iván “Melón” Lewis (piano), Dayan Abad (guitar), Iván Ruiz Machado (bass, double bass) and Pico Millán (drums). The arrangements blur classical precision and street-born spontaneity, shifting between intimate, lyrical passages and raucous, dance-infused eruptions to create a cinematic, emotionally charged sonic journey.
Sir András Schiff and Evgeny Kissin join at the piano for an intimate programme of pieces for two pianos and four hands. They perform Mozart’s Sonata in D major, KV 448, Schumann’s Andante and Variations, op. 46, and Bilder aus Osten, Smetana’s La Moldau in the four‑hand arrangement, plus selected Dvořák Slavonic Dances. The recital balances classical clarity with Romantic depth, highlighting refined ensemble interplay and the contrasting voices of two towering virtuosos.
