Geneva Camerata's critically acclaimed performance pushes the boundaries of what classical music can be.
Thirty musicians and two dancers
All music is movement – this is the fundamental idea behind Geneva Camerata's Dance of the Sun, a unique concert performance that unites music and dance in an ode to life, hope, loss, and love.
Thirty musicians from Geneva Camerata share the stage with two dancers, one of whom is the choreographer himself, Juan Kruz Díaz de Garaio Esnaola. The musicians perform Esnaola's choreography while playing Mozart, Lully, and the commissioned piece Rise by Barblina Meierhaus from memory. The result is a genre-defying mix of music, dance, and theater that challenges the way we listen.
Wildly Innovative
Dance of the Sun was highlighted as one of the year's best performances when the New York Times summarized the classical music year of 2019.
International press describes the performance as bold and innovative – a work that challenges conventions and gives a traditional art form a completely new expression. David Greilsammer, the conductor who started it all, is also part of the choreography on stage.
