THE RETURN OF THE BRASS BAND

Dear Public, Dear Friends,

Following the decisions taken by the Swiss Federal Government, it is with tremendous regret and sadness that we have to announce the cancellation of our Family Concert No.1, scheduled for 7 November 2020 at 11am. 

The entire Geneva Camerata team had been working relentlessly and with great devotion in order to maintain this concert, with all the necessary and required sanitary measures. It is therefore a very difficult moment for the orchestra, its musicians, technicians, board, and staff, as well as for all the cultural organisations and artists across Switzerland.

Despite our distress and anguish, we will remain united and strong, and we will continue elaboration spectacular and unforgettable performances, for all of you. We can only hope that live music will be back again, as soon as possible. More than ever, we need to fight in order to keep the arts alive, and therefore please rest assured that we will do all can to re-schedule this concert for the next season.

Born in Switzerland, Aude Cattin has demonstrated, from a very early age, an exceptional talent for acrobatics, juggling, aerial acts, trapeze numbers, music and literature. She has received a diploma in Literature and Circus Arts from one of the most important circus schools in France, École de Châtellerault, where her unusual capacities and talents were praised by her mentors.

At the age of seventeen, she traveled to Canada and started her studies at the prestigious Quebec Circus School. It is at that crucial moment of her artistic development that she discovered two disciplines that would later become her most impressive strengths: Cyr Wheel and Hat Juggling. She subsequently developed and perfected her skills, to become one of the world’s greatest specialists in those two fields. 

Aude Cattin performs regularly with numerous circus companies and also as solo artist, in the United Asia, Canada, Japan, and Europe. In the last few years, she has developed a unique and very personal artistic language, wishing to establish a contemporary approach to circus arts. In addition, music has always occupied a very important role in her shows. As a musician, she frequently performs piano, accordion or trombone in her own circus shows, in addition to incorporating poetry and literature.  

Strongly engaged for charitable causes, Aude Cattin has recently performed in various prisons in Germany and Italy, as parts of a collaboration with the Instant Acts Association.
