Mediation

Ever in step with our times, we continue to develop our programmes for all audiences, ensuring that everyone is given the opportunity to engage with contemporary music.

Participation is at the heart of our activities, bringing audiences into direct contact with the Ensemble’s musicians, particularly through Close-Up and Chœur en Fusion. This season, we are delighted to continue our work with younger audiences with two programmes in the Dimanche, c’est famille! series, created especially for families in collaboration with Eklekto Geneva Percussion Center, the Conservatoire populaire and the OCG. On the first Sunday of every month (outside school holidays), Les 6 toits becomes a place of discovery for young and old alike, with workshops, performances, mini-concerts and time to meet and talk in a friendly, creative atmosphere. Contrechamps develops its own discovery programmes, always in close collaboration with the Ensemble musicians, through concerts, events in museums such as the MAH and collaboration with the Haute école de musique de Genève (HEM). Several public events will also offer a chance to discover the next generation of musicians and composers. Our work in schools also continues to grow, with more than 2,000 children taking part in our workshops and programmes every year. It’s thanks to you, our audience, that every one of our concerts comes alive! We look forward to a season of shared musical experiences, discoveries for the whole family, curiosity and ears wide open… always with a big smile and plenty of joy.
