Composing and Painting: Same Struggles?

Booking Required

Presented within the Festival Les Inoubliables, this guided musical walk pairs works by women composers with paintings by female artists of the same periods. Performed in the exhibition spaces, harpist Laudine Dard, cellist Clément Dami and soprano Amelia Feuer weave live music that enlivens the visual works, while a minimalist sound and lighting approach highlights textures and resonances. The program illuminates shared lives, artistic dialogue and obscured histories, creating an intimate, reflective atmosphere.

Swiss mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti and American pianist Todd Camburn form a close musical partnership, presenting a programme that juxtaposes Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder with Chausson’s Poème de l’amour et de la mer. The recital also includes Duparc’s intimate mélodies, Poulenc’s nuanced songs and a brief solo piano Improvisation, plus chansons by Jacques Brel and Léo Ferré in an arrangement by Guy‑François Leuenberger commissioned for the occasion. Gregory Rauber provides a contextual introduction. The evening unfolds with oceanic textures, luminous phrasing and intense lyric intimacy.

Sunday 6 September, 18:00

British vocalist Lucy Thomas joins pianist James Breckon in an intimate piano-and-voice recital that bridges classical crossover, pop and musical theatre. Thomas’s soaring timbre and theatrical phrasing reinterpret film themes and Broadway melodies alongside original songs, while Breckon’s sensitive accompaniment ranges from delicate pianissimos to rich, organ-tinged textures. The programme favors emotional clarity and lyrical storytelling; sparse lighting and nuanced pacing heighten moments of hush and catharsis, drawing listeners into a vividly cinematic soundworld.

3 – 6 September

Performed and directed by Eve Aouizerate, this incisive solo creation blends autofiction and faux stand-up to turn fairy-tale promises into a sharp satire. Using humour and precise stagecraft, Aouizerate interrogates reactionary online imaginaries and the contemporary allure of tradwives, exposing tensions between domestic idealisation and feminist inheritance. The piece mixes intimate confession, comic timing and critical observation to probe identity, boredom and the pressures shaping women’s lives.

Geneva’s Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp offers a nomadic musical odyssey that blends fervent rhythms, sonic experimentation and a spirit of freedom. For nearly twenty years the collective has shaped a distinctive sound: layered voices, interweaving textures and songs that confront the present without succumbing to despair. Carried by an impressive constellation of brass, strings, percussion, marimbas and guitars, more than fifteen musicians create generous, mobile and intensely alive music that moves between communal celebration and joyful escape.
