Festival Off 2011
YOUNG MUSICIANS IN THE SPOTLIGHT
New last year, the Festival Off was a great success! This year, it is back with 7 free concerts.
Organised for the first time in 2010, the Festival Off strives to promote and encourage young musicians who are just launching their career. The artists programmed in the Festival Off are selected amongst the best students of the Conservatories of Berne, Lausanne, Geneva and Zurich. The programme chosen for the Festival Off is diverse, ranging from classical music to jazz and percussion. This year, the concerts will take place on the Place du Théâtre, either on the open-air stage of the Malacouria Theatre or in the foyer of the Théâtre de Valère.
All concerts are followed by a free drink !
