The team at La Becque is delighted to invite you to join us on Saturday, May 25, 2024, on the shores of Lake Geneva in La Tour-de-Peilz, to celebrate the fifth anniversary of our artists’ residency.

 

On this free day open to all, the public will have the opportunity to discover, for the first time in Switzerland, a sound performance by the Basel ensemble of ten Alponom musicians, who will interpret a piece for alphorn by American artist Stephen O’Malley, resident at La Becque in 2021.

 

Also in the line-up: a performance by French sculptor Cécile Bouffard and Anglo-American dancer Ruth Childs (2021 residents), a performance by Kosovar artist Astrit Ismaili (2024 resident), a sound performance by Chilean artist Nicole L’Huillier (2023 La Becque resident) and Swiss-Martinican artist Nathalie Rebholz, a live concert by Korean cellist, composer and improviser Okkyung Lee (2023 resident) and a DJset by Time is Away, made up of British artist Jack Rollo and Irish historian Elaine Tierney, also 2024 residents.
