The concert hall of the shock box, in Neuchâtel, hosts a new direction and a new programmer. It is Rana Bassil and Mathias Kerninon, the first as general coordinator and the second as a program manager.
(Keystone-ATS) The two arrivals are part of a “reorganization period” of the entity created in 1991, the city of Neuchâtel and the Coordination Coordination Association (ACDC) said on Thursday. With Rana Bassil, the management of the institution will embody a “new impetus for the emblematic room of current music”.
Renewal also implies a “reinforced ambition in terms of creation, inclusion and artistic diversity”, specifies the press release. Rana Bassil and Mathias Kerninon are described as experienced elements, the first for example having imposed over the years as an “influential figure in the Roman cultural sector”.
Rana Bassil will take office on October 6. Involved in the direction of cultural space Le Nouveau Monde, in Friborg, she is also co-president of the Petzi ridge, vice-president of the Belluard Bollwerk International festival, in Friborg, and member of the European network of Live DMA musical scenes.
