SWISS MUSIC @ home

Europe as a guest in Switzerland

In collaboration with Pro Helvetia, FONDATION SUISA is inviting international professionals to Switzerland as part of their SWISS MUSIC @ home pilot programme. The aim is to connect Swiss music makers with event organisers from all over Europe.

Participation in important music fairs and industry events in other European countries has always been central to FONDATION SUISA’s activities. This is seen as an ideal way of promoting Swiss and Liechtenstein music making beyond the country’s borders. FIND OUT MORE

Since 2023, thanks to its “SWISS MUSIC @ home” programme, it is reversing the direction of travel by inviting European music professionals to Switzerland on a targeted basis. SWISS MUSIC @ home can count on the collaboration of several Swiss festivals as host partners.

Through a variety of artistic events, participants have the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with key players in Swiss musical life, maintain contacts with international colleagues and discover the great diversity of Swiss music on stage.
