Performed by Louise Crasnier and Guénolé Juvin, this sparkling song programme channels the spirit of Anne Sylvestre through two voices and a guitar. The duo wanders between fragile tenderness and sharp humour, delivering songs that stroke, shake and open the chest to breathe deeper. Their intimate interplay and storytelling revive timeless portraits of words, birds and daily life, moving the audience to laughter and tears within a stripped-back musical frame.

Three improvisers and composers — Maël Godinat (piano), William Jacquemet (trombone) and Pierre‑François Massy (double bass) — present a program of original material and carefully chosen covers. Arrangements emphasize close harmonies, intimate interplay and attentive listening, letting sparse textures open into rich, resonant chords. The trio’s sound balances lyrical phrasing with rhythmic subtlety; lighting and silence shape moments of suspended time, inviting a contemplative, warm atmosphere that reimagines harmonic conversation in the moment.
JazzContreBand celebrates its 30th anniversary with a new creation led by trumpeter Erik Truffaz. Franco‑Swiss musicians join forces with the Orchestre des Alpes et du Léman in Side by Side, a programme that blends classical writing, jazz phrasing and open-ended improvisation. The project explores textural contrasts, orchestral colours and solo interplay, shifting from intimate chamber passages to wide, cinematic swells. Expect nuanced dynamics, luminous timbres and collaborative dialogue across genres.
Coordinated by Stan Breynaert, this evening presents two PrePro projects by student artists CHIARA and GABRIEL, showcasing distinct musical worlds and personal approaches to composition and performance. The programme foregrounds experimentation and close artistic exchange, with the performers sharing emerging work while receiving attentive feedback from external experts. Staging favors immediacy and listening, alternating intimate moments and expansive soundscapes to create a reflective, exploratory atmosphere that reveals the creative processes of tomorrow’s musicians.
Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.
