Female voices and fresh perspectives on contemporary folk music take centre stage in an evening dedicated to memory, identity and experimentation. InterFolk brings together Swiss tradition and original compositions in a repertoire that fosters dialogue between past and present. With Texturas, Raissa Avilés and Sara Magon give shape to a musical project that combines Latin American repertoires, Italian song and original compositions. Finally, with totätanz, Simone Felber Iheimisch explores the themes of loss, life and death through the language of Swiss Neuse Volksmusik.

With their roots in Swiss folk music, the three musicians of InterFolk chart a course where pieces from the traditional repertoire, original compositions and new sounds coexist naturally. Energetic performance, curiosity and virtuosity drive a quest that explores folk music in all its breadth, spanning musical memory and new expressive possibilities. Alongside pieces by Swiss composers, the programme features works by Richard Galliano and Astor Piazzolla, confirming a repertoire that is both open and varied.

Raissa Avilés’s voice meets Sara Magon’s soundscape, blending classical and electric guitar, in a project that brings together Latin American folk and singer-songwriter repertoires, Italian song classics and original compositions. With Texturas, the two musicians construct an expressive universe poised between delicacy and strength, melancholy and resilience, in which musical sensitivity and attention to sound give shape to a language that is both poetic and personal.
