SWISS CHAMBER ACADEMY - Rising stars on the international scene

Saturday 14 June 2025 7 PM

Starting from CHF 15.-

Tickets available online or on site on the day of the concert

The Swiss Chamber Academy has proved itself since its first edition in 2014 with undeniable success. Each season, some eighty particularly talented students from all over the world are invited to take classes in performance and participate in an intense phase of rehearsals. This mentoring leads to several subscription concerts featuring string quartets, string and wind ensembles as well as singing. 

The Conservatory Hall will resonate with the energy of some of the most promising young instrumentalists of their generation, hailing from Finland, France, Italy, Poland, Germany, the United States, and Switzerland. Some are already laureates of prestigious international competitions. They will perform major works by Brahms, Mozart, Penderecki, and Frank Martin.

Approximate total duration: 1 hour 15 minutes (no intermission).

Written in 1920 for a string quintet with two cellos, Pavane couleur du temps by Frank Martin draws inspiration from a tale by Perrault and belongs to the Ravelian tradition of reimagined courtly dances. With its melodic nobility and a more tormented central section, it reflects the influence of French composers on Martin at the time.

Starting from CHF 15.-
