Leonardo García Alarcón live in Geneva

Experience Leonardo García Alarcón live on January 29th

Leonardo García Alarcón will perform at Cité Bleue in Geneva, Switzerland on January 29, 2027. Alarcón is recognized for his pioneering work in historically informed performance practice, particularly within the realm of Baroque and early Classical music. His approach emphasizes meticulous research into the performance traditions of the 17th and 18th centuries, often reconstructing original instrumental forces and vocal styles. He frequently directs ensembles from the harpsichord or organ, focusing on rediscovering and performing lesser-known works alongside established repertoire. His interpretations are noted for their dramatic intensity and expressive nuance, informed by detailed philological study of scores and treatises.

Cité Bleue is a concert hall situated in the Jonction district of Geneva, housed within a former industrial building. Established in 2014, it has quickly become a significant venue for contemporary and world music, alongside jazz and classical performances. The space is characterized by its raw architectural aesthetic – retaining elements of its industrial past – combined with high-quality acoustics designed to accommodate a diverse range of musical genres. Cité Bleue actively supports emerging artists and promotes intercultural dialogue through its programming, fostering a reputation as a dynamic cultural hub within Geneva.
