Performances by the Varia Choir in May 2026
The Varia choir has existed since the year 2000. This female vocal ensemble was first directed by its creator, Colette Bronner, then from 2012, by Jacqueline Savoyant, a qualified choir director.
Varia's repertoire encompasses works for equal voices, from diverse origins, periods, and styles, whether it be classical, sacred or secular music, with instrumental accompaniment or a cappella. Under the impetus of its current director, a place is regularly offered to this latter mode of expression, because she likes to work on the listening and unity of voices that it requires. Jacqueline also takes the liberty of leading the choir into the realm of jazz.
For its performance at the 175th anniversary of the municipality of Plan-les-Ouates, the Varia choir will present baroque works by G.F. Handel and H. Purcell accompanied on piano by Bérangère Mathieu and jazz works by the Swiss composer Jérôme Berney, accompanied by a jazz trio including the composer.
These concerts will take place on Saturday, May 30th at 8 p.m. at the Bernex parish center and on May 31st at 2 p.m. at the Plan-les-Ouates community hall. Details are on the poster.
