Experience Raphael Jost live on November 7th

Raphael Jost will perform at Progr in Bern, Switzerland on November 7, 2026. Jost’s musical work frequently blends elements of contemporary classical composition with improvisation and electronic music processing. His compositions often feature extended techniques for acoustic instruments, incorporating field recordings and exploring the sonic possibilities of space and resonance. He has released albums on labels such as Nagel Editions and often collaborates with artists across various disciplines, including visual arts and dance.

Progr is a venue for contemporary music and art located in Bern’s industrial west side. Originally established in 1986 as a self-organized cultural center, it has evolved into a professionally run institution while maintaining its commitment to experimental and avant-garde artistic practices. The building itself, a former industrial hall, contributes to the venue's distinctive atmosphere. Progr hosts a diverse program encompassing concerts, performances, exhibitions, and workshops, focusing particularly on noise music, free improvisation, electronic music, and performance art. It functions as an important hub for both local and international artists working outside mainstream genres. The venue is known for its high-quality sound system and intimate performance space.
