Il Pomo d’Oro

Booking Required

Led by Pablo Agudo López and performed by Ensemble Les Impertinences, this baroque concert blends seventeenth century idioms with Venezuelan and broader Latin American influences. The project reimagines Pietro Antonio Cesti’s Il pomo d’oro as a dialogue between Cesti’s musical language and contemporary Venezuelan textures. A core period instrumental group is enriched by piano, cuatro venezolano, seven string guitar, Afro American percussion and minimoog. Ten soloists take on multiple roles, reinforcing the performance’s theatrical and fluid character. Coproduced with Les Impertinences and HEM Genève.

Invited by the OSR, Krzysztof Urbański conducts the Berner Symphonieorchester with Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi in a programme devoted to Johannes Brahms.

The interpretation privileges orchestral warmth, layered textures and clear dynamic shaping, transporting listeners into an intimate, emotionally charged sound world where lyricism and dramatic surges alternate with measured poise.

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.

Featuring guitar teachers and students from the Conservatoire populaire and dancers from the pre‑professional contemporary class of Emilio Artessero Quesada, this program stages a dialogue between dance and guitar rooted in Cuban repertoire.

The performance balances precise instrumental textures and kinetic, communal choreography, offering vivid sonic colours and pulsing movement.
