Eva Ollikainen live in Geneva

Experience Eva Ollikainen live on October 8th

Eva Ollikainen will perform at Victoria Hall in Geneva, Switzerland on October 8, 2026. Ollikainen is a Finnish accordionist renowned for her interpretations of contemporary classical music and adventurous programming. Her style frequently incorporates elements of minimalism, spectralism, and improvisation, often showcasing extended techniques on the accordion to explore its sonic possibilities beyond traditional repertoire. She regularly commissions new works and collaborates with composers internationally, pushing the boundaries of the instrument’s perceived capabilities.

Victoria Hall opened in 1894 and is considered one of Geneva’s most prestigious concert venues. Designed by architect Louis-Alexandre Dessaunay, it’s celebrated for its exceptional acoustics, stemming from its horseshoe-shaped design and careful attention to reverberation. Throughout its history, Victoria Hall has hosted numerous internationally acclaimed orchestras, soloists, and conductors. It serves as the home of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and has been a significant location for recording sessions; notably, several recordings by Ernest Ansermet were made within its walls. The hall underwent significant renovations in 2018 to modernize facilities while preserving its historical character and acoustic properties.
