Swiss Synthesizer Meeting 2023 Event Coming Sept 23

 

Organizers of the Swiss Synthesizer Meeting let us know that this year’s event will be held Saturday, 23 September, from 14 to 22 at the Gran Rex Auditorium, Locarno.

The event is an opportunity to jam with other synthesists and see lots of synth gear in action.

What they say about it:

“This year we will perform in a very cool venue with a high-quality audio system: the Gran Rex Auditorium in old town Locarno (Ticino, Switzerland).

The jam session will take place as usual in two parts, with 1-hour pause in between. During this break the musicians will get some fresh air, as well as be available to answer questions from the audience about the world of synthesizers.

For the whole duration of the event it will also be possible to take a look and play half a dozen rare synthesizers: Theo Bloderer of Greatsynthesizers will exhibit some of his treasures and be available for questions.”

 

Event Details:

When: Saturday, 23. September 2023, from 14 to 22

Where: Gran Rex Auditorium, Locarno (Ticino, Schweiz).
