Welcome to the Belle Époque Magique Concert Series at Leysin American School
 

Magic happens when artists come together with LAS students and the Leysin community. Through Belle Époque Magique, we welcome local and global talent to not only perform in the beautiful Grande Salle at the Belle Époque, but to engage our community through workshops that allow a deeper insight into the music.

Belle Époque Magique allows us to step into the music in way that is truly unique. By hosting these events, our goal is to continue to uphold our commitment to deepening culture by furthering our mission of developing innovative, compassionate, and responsible citizens of the world.

Three dancers, two musicians, one designer. Six artists reinvent JS Bach's first suite in an urban, rhythmic, and powerful sound context. The Baroque suite reconnects with dance, its primary characteristic, and three hundred years later its Gavotte, Gigue, and Minuet inspire both the contemporary dance of Aigle-based break dancers KFM Crew and the original, electronic, and taboo-free music of the Swiss musician Matthieu Mantanus, with Guillaume Bouillon on the cello, against a backdrop of a dark and urban world shaped by the drawings of the Swiss artist Philippe Berbier. First presented in spring 2024 in Aigle, the Belle Époque Magique series is delighted to bring this one-of-a-kind production to Leysin.
