Cultural season 2023-2024

A graduate of Geneva’s Haute école d’art et de design (HEAD), Laure Marville is taking up a residency at Institut Florimont and producing an exhibition with our own pupils in the second term of this school year.

Laure often uses linocut on fabric or paper to repeat designs that she cuts out and intersperses with fragments of text to form her compositions.

This event is free, but we kindly ask you to register for organisational purposes.

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the Launch Night of « Encré » dans la culture – Institut Florimont’s second cultural season – on 21 September.

Celebrating all forms of expression, ‘Encré’ dans la culture is a whole-school project that gives Florimont the freedom to write its own artistic story.

The Launch Night will be held at our campus from 6.30pm and will introduce the season and all contributors: music company Ponticello, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande (OSR), Théâtre Am Stram Gram, Ballet Junior and artist-in-residence Laure Marville will be presenting the programme of their events, and taking questions from our own budding journalists.

While the Launch Night of our second cultural season is a free event, we kindly ask you to register for organisational purposes.

Ponticello gives young competition winners trained in Switzerland the opportunity to perform alongside internationally-acclaimed artists who are active in the country’s French-speaking regions.

From Bach to Bernstein via Gershwin, the members of Rythm’cello – cellist Ophélie Gaillard, pianist François-Xavier Poizat, and tap dancers Daniel Leveillé and Maria Busquets – go on a journey together: exploring the diversity and rhythmical depth of high-energy and more relaxed pieces that combine music with the movement of the body and the clatter of dancing feet.

Founded in 1918 by Ernest Ansermet, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande (OSR) has 112 musicians who perform not just in Switzerland but on some of the world’s most prestigious stages in Europe, Asia and the US. Since 2017 under Jonathan Nott’s leadership, the OSR has set its sights on new objectives and works to support upcoming young talent, attract new audiences and make music accessible to all.

This event’s programme will be a chamber music repertoire for a quintet of piano, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn.

Formed in 1992 by Dominique Catton and Nathalie Nath, Théâtre Am Stram Gram aims to reach out to younger audiences through its high-quality artistic productions ranging from drama to music and dance. Under actor and director Joan Mompart’s leadership since 2021, this bold theatre group has set the international standard in its field.

Come and experience classical music like you’ve never heard it before! The Ensemble Variante presents an interpretation of Ibsen’s classic play Peer Gynt in an adaptation by Sophie Humann.

Ballet Junior is part of the École de Danse de Genève, founded in 1969. The school’s programme gives young dancers the technical training they need to pursue a professional career and nurtures their artistic identity.

Set to perform at Institut Florimont in April 2024, Ballet Junior will present 2 connected dance pieces from their repertoire.
