Brass and Voices

Led by conductor Dominique Tille, the Geneva Brass quintet joins forces with the all-female vocal ensemble Callirhoé in a programme that foregrounds the dialogue between voices and brass. The quintet acts as a “second choir”, extending vocal lines and expanding the ensemble’s sonic palette. Repertoire moves from luminous Bruckner passages to daring contemporary works, alternating lush harmonies and incisive brass colour. The result is an intimate yet powerful soundscape that highlights timbre, blend and expressive contrast.
