The Geneva Competition is delighted to be hosting one of the first concerts of the Haute École de Musique de Genève’s newly created Chamber Orchestra, an event which will launch this year’s public competition rounds. This new prestigious partnership, hosting Kevin Spagnolo, 1 st Prize in 2018 and a graduate of the HEM, will inaugurate an artistic collaboration which will greatly benefit the winners of our competitions.

HEM CHAMBER ORCHEATRA

The HEM Chamber Orchestra was founded in 2021 upon the initiative of several professors of the institution, all internationally renowned artists. The ensemble
functions most of the time without a conductor and is led by a college of professors, who perform alongside particularly talented students of the HEM,
selected upon audition. Ambassador for a cosmopolitan and international Geneva, this exceptional and highly modular ensemble offers cross-disciplinary experiences with other universities such as the HEAD and the Manufacture. It also develops projects with other Genevan cultural institutions, such as the Grand Théâtre and the Festival de Bellerive.
