Les Athénéennes returns for its fifteenth edition, a Geneva festival presenting a wide spectrum of contemporary and traditional music.
More than 200 artists will perform in the heart of Geneva, across a rich program of concerts. The festival champions emerging ensembles and established artists, foregrounding inventive programming, cross-genre collaborations and attentive sound design.
La Cité Bleue warmly welcomes Jakub Józef Orliński and pianist Michał Biel for a special concert dedicated to generosity and beauty. This recital supports the organization Innocence en Danger Suisse, which protects children from violence, with all ticket proceeds donated to the cause.
Renowned for their artistic excellence and human engagement, Orliński and Biel offer a rich program blending Baroque masterpieces, intimate pieces, and virtuosic passages. The concert is both a moving musical experience and a call for solidarity, making music a powerful act of commitment for those whose voices often go unheard.

Cabaret en chantier is a laboratory for short puppet creations that treats making a puppet show like walking a tightrope while juggling. Balanced between text and image, between real and imaginary, between the animated and the inanimate, it demands writing, building and precise manipulation; every gesture and detail can tip the whole. This edition highlights emerging artists—students and career-changers—who receive institutional support to explore and reinvent puppet arts, presenting their first creations.
