Conductor Ferran Gili-Millera leads the municipal wind ensemble through a vivid, eclectic programme that spans cinematic themes, jazz classics and contemporary wind repertoire. The concert juxtaposes works by Thierry Deleruyelle, Marcel Peeters and Jacob de Haan with beloved film melodies from Joe Hisaishi, John Williams and Hans Zimmer, plus jazz arrangements evoking Duke Ellington. The band’s precise dynamics and warm, sustained sonorities shape an emotional arc from playful lyricism to sweeping heroic fanfares, placing the orchestral wind palette at the centre.

Gli Angeli Genève will perform Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 op. 37 and Symphony No. 3 “Eroica” at the Haydn-Mozart Festival. This concert marks a festival first by spotlighting Beethoven, a brilliant successor to Haydn and Mozart. Directed by Stephan MacLeod and featuring Kristian Bezuidenhout on fortepiano, the event promises an immersive experience into Beethoven’s work, highlighting his mastery of the era while showcasing his revolutionary approach to reshaping musical conventions. This concert represents the orchestral maturity of Gli Angeli Genève and celebrates their longstanding collaboration with Bezuidenhout.

Gli Angeli Genève will perform Gluck’s “Orfeo ed Euridice” in concert format at the Haydn-Mozart Festival. Under the baton of Stephan MacLeod and featuring Sophie Junker, Marie Perbost, and Iestyn Davies, this opera signals a departure from traditional opera seria with its mythological narrative and emphasis on the chorus and ballet. The concert-style performances, devoid of sets and costumes, heighten the dramatic intensity, promising unforgettable evenings.

Led by conductor Andres Gabetta, the Avetis Baroc Festival Orchestra joins soprano Varduhi Khachatryan and mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti for Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater and Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. The programme contrasts intimate sacred lament with virtuosic concerti, highlighting radiant violin lines and expressive vocal duets. Sparse textures and shimmering orchestral color frame voices and solo violin, creating a meditative yet vivid soundworld that balances baroque clarity with dramatic immediacy.

To conclude the Haydn-Mozart Festival, Gli Angeli Genève will perform Haydn’s Stabat Mater at Victoria Hall under the baton of Václav Luks. The concert will also feature works by Jan Dismas Zelenka, including his Miserere in C minor. This event juxtaposes Zelenka’s innovative Baroque style with Haydn’s classical tradition, providing an insightful exploration of 18th-century musical evolution.
