Concerts at the Scène Ella Fitzgerald in the majestic green setting of Parc La Grange
From 22 June to 23 August 2024
Free and open to all
From 22 June to 23 August 2024, Parc la Grange will play host to the new season of concerts on the Ella Fitzgerald Stage.
And for the first time since the forerunner of Musiques en été was founded by the City of Geneva in 1966, the city has delegated the programming and organisation of this summer event to an association. Following a public call for tenders, Jaydos was appointed to run the 2024 to 2027 editions.
Another new feature is the opening of the Ella Fitzgerald stage on 22 and 23 June, with a programme that forms part of the extensive Fête de la musique programme! It's a new adventure, but the aim remains the same: to give everyone the chance to enjoy some exceptional musical moments in an enchanting green setting!
Have a great summer!
