The declared aim of the music education project “zusammen, insieme, ensemble” is to open up the world of chamber orchestras and concert halls to people for whom intuitive access to classical music is a challenge. It finds ten Swiss professional orchestras and the professional association ORCHESTER.CH joining forces. As part of the “zusammen, insieme, ensemble” programme, ten commissions have been awarded to ten composers working in Switzerland. The resulting new works are due to be premiered in a nationwide concert week in May.
A music mediation project initiated by orchester.ch and its members:

On 13 May 2025, the Sinfonieorchester Basel – under the baton of EÍMEAR NOONE – is performing a composition by MICHEL BARENGO, an exceptional musician, renaissance man and recipient of the 2019 Get Going grant from FONDATION SUISA. And as always, when Barengo – known for the soundtracks to games such as Mundaun and Airheart – is behind it, boundaries are redefined to include modular and orchestral, electronic and classic, analogue and digital.

jazzahead! 2025 ⎪ 24–26 April ⎟ Bremen (DE) The Swiss, the Green and the Network
RECONNECT: international cooperation and sustainable touring
This year’s edition of jazzahead! focused on three former partner countries, Spain (2012), France (2015) andSwitzerland (2016). In connection with the important theme of “green touring”, the three neighbours were selected as partner regions to promote artistic exchange between them and beyond.
The programme included various network formats among the partner countries as well as three guaranteed Swiss showcase slots. The concept of international cooperation and cross-border networking involving bookers, organisers and musicians from the partner countries proved to be intensive but very productive.
Swiss presence
In addition to fantastic showcases by the LOUIS MATUTE LARGE ENSEMBLE, the MANON MULLENER 5TET and YILIAN CAÑIZARES, as well as concerts by ALPHA-RAY and STEFAN RUSCONI as part of the Club Night, Switzerland was also present at jazzahead! 2025 with the Swiss Music booth.
The delegation was also responsible for various networking events. The speed-dating session between musicians and promoters from all the countries represented were particularly successful, as were the pitching sessions, in which Swiss acts brought all their skills to bear.

From 4 to 13 April, the Plainpalais Community Centre hosted the 23rd edition of the Archipel Festival in Geneva, dedicated to contemporary music. It was attended by international experts from the booking sector. Founded in 1992, the Archipel Festival offers a stage for Swiss contemporary music as well as all forms of musical research and sound art.
At this year’s edition, the performing artists also had the opportunity to present themselves and their work during pitching sessions to bookers from all over Europe, who were specially invited by FONDATION SUISA, Pro Helvetia and SONART to network with the local scene as part of the SWISS MUSIC @ home programme. Everyone involved (including us) thoroughly enjoyed the days in Geneva and the fine weather.
The GUEST programme took place over the first three days of the festival, from 4 to 6 April 2025:
On Friday, we were able to welcome our guests, visit some of the sound installations and attend the opening concerts of the festival. It was a great opportunity to get to know each other and enjoy the festival atmosphere (which was both high quality and relaxed) that radiated throughout the 3-day event..
Saturday was an opportunity to introduce the Cave 12 (an emblematic venue for the Geneva and international experimental scene) and the artists playing at the festival over the weekend.
On Sunday, we invited a number of Swiss ensembles to introduce themselves at a morning meeting at Bongo Joe(another of Geneva’s iconic venues).
For us, these were the highlights:
The fantastic diversity amongst young and old, business people and ‘nerds’, national and international musicians and bookers. The mix was so varied, it was a great pleasure!
The informal setting and the friendly get-togethers. At no point did the festival feel like a networking event. Quite the opposite: everything was very informal.
The fantastic weather! Whenever we wanted, we were able to sit under this tree at the long wooden table in the garden of the Maison Communale de Plainpalais.
Roy Oppenheim was a founding member of FONDATION SUISA (at that time still called “SUISA Foundation for Music”) and served on its Foundation Board for 19 years. Even after he had stepped down in 2008, he remained on friendly terms with the foundation and continued to support its management with his expertise and extensive network.
AFollowing his retirement from SRG, SUISA took the opportunity to recruit Roy Oppenheim, a proven expert in communications and public affairs, as an advisor.
Both institutions were fortunate to have found in Roy a person who, after many years of experience at SRG as Director of SPlus, SRG’s first 2nd TV and cultural channel, and as Director of Swiss Radio International, had in-depth knowledge of Swiss cultural work across all sectors and its international reach. From this activity, he also brought along his openness and enthusiasm for connecting all parts of Switzerland. He cultivated an extensive network of contacts in culture, society and politics throughout the country. When it came to finding someone who could advise or help us, Roy was sure to know someone, whether in Ticino, French-speaking or German-speaking Switzerland. In this way, he and the Swiss-wide institutions SUISA and FONDATION SUISA succeeded in promoting understanding in the areas of society, politics, business and culture across language barriers.
Roy has contributed a great deal to SUISA’s as well as FONDATION SUISA’s public profile and to internal cohesion and communication. His great and always astounding creativity has significantly shaped our cooperative’s image and our work in favour of music creators.
Thanks to his perseverance, even in difficult circumstances, special, far-reaching projects have repeatedly been realised. They have been ranged from an increased presence of Swiss music at the international music and publishing fair Midem in Cannes to the SUISA sound tower on the Arteplage in Biel in 2002 on the occasion of the national exhibition Expo.02.

We consider ourselves fortunate to have worked with Roy Oppenheim and to have been inspired by his cosmopolitan, liberal nature, his inexhaustible curiosity and creativity.
We send our sincere condolences to his wife Rachela, his son Harry and his family. We will keep Roy as an important and formative part of FONDATION SUISA’s corporate history in fond and vivid memory.

The Solothurn Film Festival, in collaboration with mx3 and the FONDATION SUISA, is looking for the best Swiss video clip of the year.
From all the entries, the «Best Swiss Video Clip» selection committee chose 16 works covering a wide range of musical genres for the 60th Solothurn Film Festival. The Jury Award and the Audience Award were presented on 25 January 2025 as part of the ‘Notte delle Visoni’ at the Solothurn Film Festival. The two prizes, the Jury Award and the Audience Award, each worth CHF 5,000, are sponsored by FONDATION SUISA.
JURY AWARD
Of the 16 clips shortlisted, the selection committee attributed the Jury Award «Best Swiss Video Clip» 2025 to «WATCH ME» by CAMILLA SPARKSSS.
Praise from the jury Camilla Sparksss’ music video «Watch Me» combines static and dynamic elements to take us on a dreamlike, surreal journey, inspired by Edward Hopper’s painting «Morning Sun» (1952). «Watch Me» questions the gaze between subject and object, and plays on the slowness of certain elements such as the interplay of shadows and glances to invite us to intentionally slow down and reflect. Image and sound are on an equal footing and merge into each other, the visual concept being underpinned by the expressiveness of the song. The jury was impressed by the way Camilla Sparkss uses limited resources to create complex, striking images that encourage introspection.
AUDIENCE AWARD
In the online public vote, Superdark’s «Opposite Thumb» video, directed by ALEXANDER WITZIG, beat out 15 other clips to win the «Best Swiss Video Clip» 2025 Public Award.
Opposite Thumb is Superdark’s new track, about the relentless onslaught of advice on ‘how to improve your life’. Alexander Witzig from Zurich, a member of the band Superdark, directed the video clip.
Once again, this year’s call for projects for a «Get Going!» grant generated a termendous response. Over 250 dossiers from all parts of the country and all genres were submitted and presented to our expert jury. After reviewing all the dossiers, the jury decided to support the following musicians for their artistic visions with a «Get Going!» grant of CHF 25,000.- each. Congratulations to the eight beneficiaries!
SAMI GALBI

Musician, singer and producer Sami Galbi, who was born in Lausanne, is no stranger to the Swiss scene: he started off as a singer, composer and bassist of the band El Mizan, before increasingly becoming a solo artist – including a highly acclaimed performance at the Paléo Festival in Nyon and winning M4Music’s Demo Tape Clinic. During a residency in Morocco made possible by Pro Helvetia, his project “Sami Galbi” took on concrete forms. Grar intends to leverage this to translate the music of his childhood – traditional Raï – into the sonic present of the 21st century with the help of analogue machines and his guitar. The «Get Going!» grant will enable him to develop the project in 2025. Geneva-based label Bongo Joe Records is set to release his first album this spring. At the same time, Sami Galbi will continue to advance his sonic visions with a trio on a concert tour. instagram.com/sami.galbi

elie zoé (formerly Emilie Zoé) composes, plays and experiments in the creative environment of Humus Records, the genre-redefining label of musician Louis Jucker. Zoé is working with him to set up a studio. In addition to uncompromisingly developing their own sound, zoé and Jucker are concerned not only with adapting their performances to the current environmental challenges, but also with consciously connecting people through music. Their project “Studio, Chorale et Slow Tours” pursues this objective on three levels: exploring new creative possibilities in their own studio. Launching an ecological “slow tour” featuring extended stays of several days at various venues, the aim being to build a deeper relationship with audiences. In addition to these aspects, the “Get Going!” grant also enables the duo to rehearse and perform new compositions in these locations together with local choirs. www.eliezoe.com

MATTHIAS LINCKE

Matthias Lincke is a violinist, singer, guitarist and composer/lyricist. Since the end of the 1990s, he has immersed himself in folk music in general and focussed on the violin in particular. In projects and ensembles such as the Trio Tobler-Lincke-Tanner, Sternmotor, Echo, and the folk music/cabaret ensemble Doppelbock, Lincke has been keen to experiment with folk music, thus enriching his view of traditional music with refreshing perspectives. The “Get Going!” grant is helping the Zurich native realise his current project, “Feldwerk”. This finds him investigating on the one hand the disintegration of the Alps through the impact of climate change, and on the other the different perspectives of people between the contrasting poles of homeland and globalisation. Together with the musicians involved, Lincke responds with an approach that both celebrates Alpine culture and sets its fragility, transience and strangeness to music with newly explored sounds. matthiaslincke.ch
NATHALIE FROEHLICH
Nathalie Froehlich ⎥ Photo ⓒAudrey Manfredi
Nathalie Froehlich is now known far beyond Switzerland’s borders. With her unmistakable style of reggaeton, baile funk, experimental music and techno, the rapper transforms her performances into statements that go beyond the music. Nathalie Froehlich also sees her art as a means of establishing a clear social stance – whether on large festival stages or in alternative venues such as squatted buildings. Now the Lausanne native, who started off finding jazz and later improvisation via the classical piano, wants to combine her musical vision even more closely with her social and political engagement. The «Get Going!» grant allows Nathalie Froehlich to invest more time in developing a coherent artistic identity by delegating tasks such as administration and organisation to professionals and thus building a supporting team that will further her vision. instagram.com/nathalie_froehlich
MARCO VON ORELLI

Basel-based composer and trumpeter Marco von Orelli has been a fixture on the Swiss jazz scene for years. In his artistic work, he operates between the poles of improvisation and composition. Numerous recordings bear witness to his creative work, be it with the Basel Sinfonietta or with bands such as Big Bold Back Bone, Lotus Crash or the Root Down Orchestra. In his current project “Life”, Marco von Orelli focuses on climate change and the resulting consequences for nature. Marco von Orelli wants to use the atmosphere and energy of specific places in the countryside to initiate a creative composition process using approaches such as field recordings and underwater recordings. Thanks to the «Get Going!» grant, not only is the development of this project secured, but also its objective: “Life” will ultimately be presented as a multidisciplinary performance of music and dance at selected outdoor locations. marcovonorelli.ch
The 24-year-old composer and cellist Cyprien Lengagne from French-speaking Switzerland has won the first ‘Fonds Jacques Cerf’ incentive prize for new compositions with his work ‘Éclipses’. In addition to a cash prize, the young composer has seen his work performed for the first time in Lausanne at the beginning of December 2024.
The jury was convinced of the “great artistic potential of this young composer” and saw in his work the fulfilment of the desire of the Fonds Jacques Cerf’s founder to support talented young composers so that they can present themselves to a wide audience in a symphony concert.
Concert of the winning work «Éclipses»
The work ‘Éclipses’ was performed for the first time on Thursday 5 December 2024 by the orchestra of the Haute École de Musique (HEMU) in the Salle Métropole in Lausanne as part of a joint concert with the Sinfonietta de Lausanne: Richard Strauss, ‘Ein Heldenleben’, conducted by the brilliant conductor Ruth Reinhardt.
«With Éclipses by Cyprien Lengagne, the music takes us on a cosmic adventure inspired by the stars’.»
Mrs Colette Cerf, who was present at the concert, was keen to present the young prize-winner Cyprien Langagne with the conductor’s baton that belonged to her late husband, the musician and composer Jacques Cerf. A lovely, emotional moment…
Éclipses: a musical work at the heart of the cosmos article published on 1 May 2025 in the Swiss Music Review
Cyprien Lengagne, a young Franco-Swiss composer and cellist, invites us to think about space-time, the relationship between nature and man, nature and cosmos, musicians and performers.
The “Fonds Jacques Cerf” was founded in 2020 by Colette Cerf in fulfilment of the wish of her late husband Jacques Cerf (1932–2019), a musician and composer of classical works from the canton of Vaud.
The «New compositions Fonds Jacques Cerf» incentive prize is a joint initiative of FONDATION SUISA, the HEMU and the Sinfonietta de Lausanne. It is part of composer Jacques Cerf’s desire to promote young talent after their studies, the aim being to encourage and support these alumni’s first steps in their professional musical lives.

Room for improvement in spite of a strong presence
“So far so good?” – that was the question posed by the tenth edition of Linecheck in the form of a slogan for the six-day event in Milan – and in Bologna as a satellite. “So far so good” also sums up Switzerland’s presence at Italy’s leading music industry conference.
The Swiss presence, jointly organised by FONDATION SUISA, Pro Helvetia and Swiss Music Export, attracted no fewer than 200 professionals under the Swiss Business Mixer flag. The importance of having a presence at the most important platform for dialogue between the musical cultures of Central Europe and the Mediterranean also underlined the attendance of key protagonists. Dominique Rovini (Pro Helvetia), Simone Bernardoni (Facciamo La Corte), Niklaus Bühler (Emerged Agency) and Noah Sartori (Crampi al Cuore) were present in person. Fabio Pinto (SONART) and Fabienne Wolfschläger (Gadget Entertainment Group) also took part in panels.
SWISS LIVE ACT AT LINECHECK 2024 Music would have been provided by CRÈME SOLAIRE, but the group had to drop out due to illness. CAMILLA SPARKSSS, who stepped in at short notice, more than managed to thrill the audience with her one-hour set on Friday evening:
CAMILLA SPARKSSS
“So far so good”, and yet the participation of Swiss professionals in the Linecheck leaves room for improvement. While networking in the west and north works perfectly, the potential of this event, which is important for networking with southern Europe, has not yet been exhausted.
