Organist/composer Franz Danksagmüller will perform a live Ciné-concert combining Kyma electronics with a 1937 Wurlitzer organ to accompany Fritz Lang’s classic silent film Metropolis at Collége Claparède in Geneva on 7 March at 8 pm.
The day before the concert, Danksagmüller is presenting a masterclass on organ and electronics improvisation for live cinema: 6 March 2025 at 2 pm.
The Ciné-concert and masterclass are part of the eleventh edition of “L’orgue fait son cinéma” festival which promises a rich and varied program — great films, great organists, regional roots, international influences, a program for young people and families, original combinations, great repertoire and contemporary creation — there’s something for everyone at this festival centered on the 1937 Wurlitzer organ of the Collège Claparède (a middle-school named for 19th century Swiss neurologist Édouard Claparède).
L’orgue fait son cinéma’s fusion of tradition and innovation is perfectly reflected by the school’s motto,
Intelligence is the ability to solve new problems
At Collége Claparède, chemin de Fossard 61, 1231 Conches, Genève
