Festival des Solistes de l'OSR
1-2-3 FEBRUARY 2024
From 1st to 3rd of February 2024, three evenings were held with an eclectic programme featuring none other than the Orchestra's musicians. In the modern setting of the Bâtiment des Forces Motrices, Jonathan Nott, musical and artistic director of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, is rethinking the format of the traditional symphony concert and proposing a new way of approaching the repertoire.
Classical & Electro Evenings: the OSR invites Electron backstage after the concerts
The highlight of this exclusive event is the presence of Electron, electronic music festival celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, who have been invited to take over the second half of the concert in the backstage area of the BFM on Friday and Saturday evenings, with an "orchestra of DJs" featuring 10 artists each night from the local Geneva scene!
