Genève-Plage 18.08.24 © G.Maillot

For the sixth consecutive year, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande invites the public to Genève-Plage park for three summer concerts on August 21, 22, and 23. True to its desire to share music beyond the concert hall, the program for this lakeside festival will feature violinist Alexandra Conunova, conductor Ernst van Tiel, a specialist in film concerts, and singer Matt Dusk, known for his brilliant renditions of Frank Sinatra hits.

The OSR is also delighted to be playing for the first time under the baton of Giuseppe Mengoli for its classical concert on August 21, whose program features works by female composers never before performed by the orchestra. On Friday, August 22, the film concert will screen the musical An American in Paris, a tribute to love, art, and the City of Light. Conducted by Ernst van Tiel, the orchestra will play live in front of the screen! On the last evening, festival-goers will have the pleasure of hearing Matt Dusk again, who already graced the stage last summer with the OSR jazz band, promising a new glamorous journey between Las Vegas and Genève-Plage!

Tickets between CHF 10.- and CHF 20.-.
