La Cité Bleue is delighted to welcome Jakub Józef Orliński and Michał Biel for a concert dedicated to generosity and beauty. In this exceptional recital, the pianist will accompany one of the most acclaimed countertenors of his generation as he lends his voice to a vital cause: child protection.
Organized in support of the Innocence in Danger Switzerland association, this concert aims to be a moment of shared emotion, awareness, and solidarity. All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the association, which actively works to defend the rights of child victims of violence.
Versatile artists who are just as at home on the world’s greatest stages as they are performing for intimate audiences, Jakub Józef Orliński and Michał Biel use their talent to convey a message of hope. Their program, rich in expression, will bring together Baroque masterpieces, intimate pieces, and virtuosic flourishes in an evening that is both luminous and profound.
This concert is an invitation to combine the emotional power of music with a concrete act of solidarity. At La Cité Bleue, music becomes an act of commitment: a space where art gives a voice to those who are not always heard.
