Don’t just like it, live it!

Saturday 30 May, 19:00

Three bands share a single stage in a compact rock evening that moves from raw punk energy to introspective progressive sound. THE GREEN FATHERS fuse rock, punk, garage and blues with freshly recorded material, delivering punchy riffs and gritty vocals. SONIC RADE offers electrifying rock-pop and haunting melodies, presenting tracks from their fifth album Berlin. LEMNIS CAT, a sixteen-year-old multi-instrumentalist, channels progressive-rock influences with modern, introspective phrasing. The programme balances high-voltage drive and luminous, reflective passages.

Prune Karlen presents intimate folk-jazz songs from her debut EP Autrement, accompanied by vibraphonist and percussionist Tom Eichenberger. Their duo blends soft vocals, delicate vibraphone and subtle percussive textures with looper, kalimba and bowed soundscapes. The music moves between lyrical storytelling and open improvisation, shaping warm, immersive sound worlds that trace departures, transformations and encounters. After appearances at Swiss stages including Cully Jazz Festival, Karlen offers a nuanced, sensitive musical journey.

Coached by Ingrid Wildemann, this showcase presents eMa voice students performing in concert conditions. The programme traces each singer’s vocal development, focusing on technique, phrasing and emotional clarity. Without elaborate staging, attention falls on timbre, ensemble listening and the pedagogical exchange between teacher and pupil. Lighting and sound are used discreetly to support intimacy, while the atmosphere moves between concentrated rehearsal energy and moments of genuine celebration, offering a candid glimpse into the craft of emerging vocalists.

Sophie Solo presents intimate French chansons rooted in wit and social engagement. A singer, musician, actor and self-taught illustrator, she blends humor and feminist insight in a repertoire of original songs and carefully chosen covers from Anne Sylvestre to Allain Leprest, accompanying herself on guitar. The evening offers close, conversational phrasing, warm acoustic timbres and incisive storytelling that moves between tenderness and mischievous bite, creating an intimate, reflective atmosphere.

Conceived as an homage to composer Sofia Gubaïdulina (1931–2025), Sofia gathers chamber formations to inhabit intimate domestic rooms and perform a curated selection from her expansive chamber-music repertoire. Pieces are chosen to multiply listening instants and to revive the private character of chamber music. Prepared in collaboration with professors from the Haute École de Musique and performed by their students, the project pairs careful scenography and subtle sound devices to awaken curiosity and encourage close, attentive listening.

The project is organised by Ensemble Vide, an interdisciplinary platform for contemporary music and artistic research.

Wander through rolling vineyard hills and village lanes to explore three distinct wine regions. Gentle slopes, river valleys and sunlit terraces create a variety of terrain underfoot, from dirt tracks to quiet village paths. The day hums with convivial energy as neighbours and visitors move from cellar to cellar, sampling recent vintages and discovering local character. Ideal for gentle walks and curious explorers, the route blends accessible outdoor activity with sensory moments among vines and open countryside.

Celebrating Geneva’s vibrant heartbeat and the stories shaping culture today

If you’ve walked along the boulevard des Philosophes recently, you may have paused in front of number 20, wondering about the banner stretched across the facade: "Equality is built. Together. La Collective will open its doors in 2027— a space bringing together seven women's associations, a café, a library, housing, childcare, and cultural life under one roof. One of the women behind it, Laurence Levrat-Pictet, has spent a lifetime making things like this happen. I went to find out how.
Writer, interviewer, collector of conversations. Alain Elkann has sat across from presidents, cardinals, artists, and Nobel Prize winners — thousands of conversations spanning decades — and never once posed a question he wasn't willing to abandon. I met him at his home in Geneva to talk a bit about everything: the craft of the interview, the future of books, why common sense might be the most underrated virtue of our time, and the advice that has stayed with him since childhood.

Geneva Classics
