Aiglon College

Founded in 2019, the Modulor Quartet has performed at the Davos Festival, the St. Galler Festspiele, the Swiss Chamber Music Festival, the quatres saisons festival Lausanne, the Rottweil Sommersprossen Musik-Festival, Kammermusik Luzern and the Braunwald Chamber Music Week. In 2021 the string quartet won 2nd prize at the Orpheus Chamber Music Competition in Fribourg, in 2022 1st prize at the Kiwanis Competition in Zurich and in 2023 was awarded the main prize of the Lucerne-based Marianne and Curt Dienemann Foundation. The Modulor Quartet was nominated for the Prix Credit Suisse Jeunes Solistes 2023 and qualified for the 2021 International Bartók Competition in Budapest, the 2023 Carl Nielsen Chamber Music Competition as well as the 77th Concours de Genève 2023. The Modulor Quartet is a member of the European Chamber Music Academy (ECMA) and the international chamber music platform MERITA and will compete in the 2025 Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition. In 2025, the orchestra returns to Villars for the second time after a successful debut in 2023. For this special concert within the concert series at Aiglon College, the BJO will feature vocalists and take the audience on a journey through the rich history of jazz — from classic swing-era big band pieces to bold, modern works. At a time when big bands are increasingly rare due to their size and complexity, the BJO proudly stands out as a vibrant, creative force — not only in the Swiss jazz scene, but internationally through its work and its diverse, global lineup.
