In Geneva, a foundation has been set up to prepare and coordinate the project of a new concert hall which should, once it is built and completed, replace the 125 years old and not really up to date Victoria Hall. The new hall will be built without public funding. The ‘Fondation pour la Cité de la musique de Genève’ would like to add to the concert hall a new building for Geneva’s High School for Music which would explain the name ‘Cité de la musique’ reminding, of course, the concept developed in Paris. In the new hall, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, a partner in the project, would be the orchestra in residence.
