The duo Nadia Bacchetta (organ) and Reto Anneler (saxophone) invites you to a concert full of musical diversity. Two instruments that at first glance seem contrasting engage in a fascinating dialogue—at times solemn and dignified, at other times lively and rousing. The majestic organ and the warm saxophone come together in a resonant duet that fills both the room and the hearts of the audience alike.
The program spans a wide range, from the simplicity of Renaissance melodies through classical works to familiar tunes from jazz, film music, and pop, all presented in a new light.
The cozy bistro, featuring a buffet of regional appetizers, opens at 6:30 p.m.
Reto Anneler lives in Aarau and studied jazz at the conservatories in Lucerne and Amsterdam under Nat Su, John Voirol, Tineke Postma, and Kurt Rosenwinkel. As a sought-after sideman and specialist in woodwinds of all kinds, he is a member of a wide variety of projects both in Switzerland and abroad. In addition to recordings and concerts with his own bands “Buzzscape” and “Stille Post,” he plays with the Swiss Jazz Orchestra, serves as lead alto saxophonist in the Zurich Jazz Orchestra, and performs with the Pepe Lienhard Big Band, Keller’s 10, the Sinatra Tribute Band, and the Peter Eigenmann/Ken Cervenka Nonet. Reto Anneler received the Erasmus Scholarship in Amsterdam in 2003, represented the Lucerne University of Music and Performing Arts at the international IASJ Jazz Meeting in Krakow in 2005, and was a “Pro Argovia Artist” in 2010.
Nadia Bacchetta has been the organist at the Reformed City Church in Solothurn since 2022 and plays the historic Kuhn organ from 1925, which is considered one of the few surviving late-Romantic symphonic organs in Switzerland. Musically, the organist moves within a broad musical landscape that spans the preservation of early music as well as engagement with contemporary music and jazz.
In 2025, Nadia Bacchetta was awarded the Canton of Solothurn Music Prize for her artistic work.
