Sarah Lancman live in Geneva

Experience Sarah Lancman live on December 9th

Sarah Lancman will perform at Salle de l'Alhambra in Geneva, Switzerland on December 9, 2026. Lancman is a composer and pianist known for her evocative and often minimalist compositions, frequently incorporating prepared piano techniques – altering the instrument’s sound by placing objects on or between the strings. Her work explores themes of resonance, fragility, and the interplay between acoustic and percussive elements, drawing influences from contemporary classical music and experimental sound art. She has released several albums to critical acclaim and frequently collaborates with artists across various disciplines.

Salle de l'Alhambra is a renowned chamber music hall situated within the grounds of the Institut Métropolitain d'Enseignement Musical (IMEM) in Geneva. Originally constructed as a private salon in 1910 by prominent Genevan banker Édouard Firmenich, it was later gifted to the city and transformed into a dedicated performance space. The hall is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics, intimate atmosphere – seating approximately 300 people – and historical significance as a venue that has hosted numerous distinguished musicians throughout its history. Its design emphasizes natural wood finishes and maintains a character reflective of its early 20th-century origins.
