Georges Schwizgebel and Louis Schwizgebel's Film Concert

For this exceptional evening, organised as part of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, the Musée-Château has the great pleasure of hosting Georges Schwizgebel, one of Swiss animation’s most dominant figures, and his son Louis Schwizgebel, renowned international pianist.

They designed the evening’s programme together, which alternates between recital and film screenings. For this concert film, Louis Schwizgebel will be interpreting on piano works in relation to the short films presented. For Erlking, he will play directly to the film's images.
