Curated by the musicians of the OSR, the Chamber Music series invites you to discover the artists who make up the Orchestra, in a more intimate setting. Let yourself be surprised by treasures from the repertoire or unexpected discoveries in the cosy setting of the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève on Sundays at 11 a.m.

Often overshadowed, composers Lili Boulanger, Amy Beach, Mel Bonis and Germaine Tailleferre have nevertheless left behind substantial catalogues of works. From a trio for flutes and piano to a Septet, this programme highlights the richness of their musical worlds – blending refinement, character and modernity – much to the delight of today’s musical connoisseurs.
