In 2014, the Concours de Genève celebrated its 75th Anniversary!
Few cultural institutions can boast of such a rich past as the Geneva Competition can. As well as being one of Geneva’s leading cultural institutions, alongside the Conservatory, the Grand-Théâtre and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, it is also one of the world’s oldest musical competitions, birthed before the Second World War. It is unique in its multidisciplinarity, its openness to contemporary music, its unwavering moral principles and its prestigious winners.
A book on the history of the competition.
Written by music historian Marie Duchêne Thégarid, it gives a thorough account of the birth and life of the Geneva Competition. Beautifully illustrated, it covers every aspect of the competition, narrating this human and artistic adventure and describing how the Geneva Competition fits into a cultural landscape affected by history’s turmoil. Sponsored by the Research Fund of the HES-so, published by Slatkine
