Get ready for a heart-pounding concert full of surprises!
Founded in 2022 on the initiative of the Ensemble Contrechamps, the Chœur en Fusion brings together singers with and without disabilities, united by the desire to sing together – freely, joyfully, fully.
With the collaboration of l'Orchestre de Chambre de Genève, this concert celebrates inclusivity, sharing and joy through songs written by people with disabilities – whether they are on stage or not. Funny, tender or powerful lyrics are set to music by Simon Aeschimann, guitarist with Contrechamps.
A powerful, sincere and luminous moment, where music brings all voices together.
The Chœur en Fusion concert at Victoria Hall will also mark the release of their album on the Contrechamps | Speckled-Toshe label.
The CD comes in a box set with a booklet containing the lyrics to the songs—illustrations by Alexandre Baumgartner—and will be on sale at Victoria Hall on the day of the concert at an introductory price of CHF 15!
