Vincent Schmidt live in Lausanne

Experience Vincent Schmidt live on August 15th

Vincent Schmidt will perform at Jetée-de-la-Compagnie in Lausanne, Switzerland on August 15, 2026. Schmidt is a Swiss composer and sound artist whose work frequently blends acoustic instruments – particularly the piano and prepared piano – with electronic processing and field recordings. His compositions often explore themes of space, resonance, and the interplay between natural and artificial sound environments, resulting in a style described as contemporary classical with ambient and experimental electronic influences. He has released several albums on established labels within the experimental music scene and regularly performs internationally.

Jetée-de-la-Compagnie is a historical pier on Lake Geneva in Lausanne, originally constructed in 1896 to facilitate boat traffic and cargo transport. Over time, its function shifted towards leisure and cultural activities. The pier underwent significant renovations in the early 2000s, transforming it into a public space hosting events such as concerts, exhibitions, and festivals. Its location extending into the lake provides a unique setting for performances, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and the French Alps. The structure itself is notable for its wooden construction and Art Nouveau detailing.
