Experience Philippe Béran live on August 14th

Philippe Béran is scheduled to perform at Genève-Plage in Geneva, Switzerland on August 14, 2026. Béran is a French composer and performer known for his work blending classical instrumentation – particularly the piano – with electronic music and sound design. His compositions often explore atmospheric textures and minimalist structures, drawing influences from contemporary classical music, ambient electronica, and jazz harmony. He frequently incorporates field recordings and found sounds into his pieces, creating immersive sonic landscapes.

Genève-Plage is a longstanding public bathing facility and leisure complex located on the shores of Lake Geneva in the Paquis district. Originally constructed in the 1930s, it was designed to provide accessible swimming and recreational opportunities for the city’s residents, offering an alternative to natural lake access. The site has undergone several renovations over the decades, maintaining its function as a popular summer destination. Beyond its swimming areas, Genève-Plage regularly hosts cultural events including concerts, open-air cinema screenings, and various community activities. Its architecture reflects functionalist principles common to public works projects of that era and it remains a significant landmark within Geneva’s urban landscape.
