Our concerts

The academicians give a series of concerts: rehearsals in Rolle are open to the public, there is an annual concert in the courtyard of Rolle Castle with the Chœur des Armaillis de la Gruyère. Other concerts bring the Academy to a close: at the Victoria Hall in Geneva, the Fondation Pierre Gianadda in Martigny and the Jan Michalski Foundation in Montricher.
The Academy has been invited to perform at prestigious venues such as the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris and the Fondation Louis Vuitton, as well as at world-famous festivals. In 2016, the musicians were invited to the Tanglewood Music Festival and twice, in 2018 and 2019, the musicians flew to Japan, invited by Seiji Ozawa to take part in the “Seiji Ozawa Matsumoto Festival”. In 2019, they even had the fortune to be conducted by Seiji Ozawa himself in Matsumoto.
