Sylvie Courvoisier live in Geneva

Experience Sylvie Courvoisier live on September 4th

Sylvie Courvoisier is a French-Swiss pianist and composer known for her highly individual approach to jazz and improvised music. Her compositions often blend elements of free improvisation, contemporary classical music, and a distinctly lyrical sensibility. Courvoisier frequently explores extended techniques on the piano, creating complex textures and harmonic landscapes, and has collaborated extensively with musicians across diverse genres. She is recognized for both solo performances and ensemble work, including long-standing projects with Mark Feldman and John Hollenbeck.

The concert will take place in Nyon, a town located on the Swiss side of Lake Geneva, in the canton of Vaud. Nyon has a rich history dating back to Roman times and served as a significant medieval port. In modern times, it’s known as an administrative center and a cultural hub within the Lake Geneva region. The town hosts numerous events throughout the year, including the Paléo Festival – one of Switzerland’s largest open-air music festivals – demonstrating its commitment to artistic programming. The specific venue within Nyon hosting Courvoisier's performance is currently unknown. Nyon benefits from its proximity to Geneva and its international population which contributes to a vibrant cultural scene.
