Led by pianist Cédric Pescia, students and faculty from the Haute école de musique de Genève transform the piano into a full orchestra through daring transcriptions. Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring and Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune and Daphnis et Chloé are reimagined for solo, duo, four hands and two pianos, revealing visceral colours and orchestral textures. The project blends intense ensemble playing with pedagogy, where attentive listening, shared gesture and physical immediacy create an immersive, passionate musical experience.
