This event is open to all who wish to pay tribute to this great Geneva-born composer.

PROGRAM
FRANK MARTIN - Petite fanfare
The Brass Sextet of the Frank Martin Orchestra will perform Frank Martin’s Petite Fanfare. Composed in 1945, this short piece was used as an opening for a large sale organized in Lausanne to benefit French musicians who had suffered during the war. In 1960, Victor Desarzens asked Frank Martin to expand this piece for a concert organized by Radio-Lausanne to celebrate the composer’s 70th birthday. The additional twenty measures were named Sonnerie de cuivre for Radio-Lausanne and flow directly into the music composed in 1945.
