Intro
The Archipel Festival, dedicated to sound art and experimental music, will be held from April 17 to 26, 2025 at the Maison communale de Plainpalais in Geneva.
Founded in Geneva in 1992, Archipel is an international festival of musical creation, promoting all forms of musical research and sound art.
