The Fête du clavier offers three concerts over two days, each with different artists and musical programmes. Please reserve a ticket separately for each performance you wish to attend.
The original idea behind the Fête du clavier was to bring together the piano classes of the Haute École de Musique Genève-Neuchâtel to perform works for two pianos and four hands.
After two highly successful first editions in 2022 and 2023, the HEM is joining forces with La Cité Bleue Genève to present this year's event, which will combine ancient and modern instruments.
Harpsichords, organs, modern pianos, fortepianos and clavichords will join the pianos to offer a highly varied programme ranging from the Baroque period to the present day: the Fête du clavier promises to be a not-to-be-missed event !
