An anniversary celebration shaped by music

For SUISA’s 100th anniversary, Live Lab developed and delivered a celebration at Aura Zurich that positioned the cooperative through its central role: connecting music creators with music lovers. Live performances, personal contributions and visual staging turned Swiss music history into a shared experience.

An evening of voices and works

The dramaturgy led through defining moments of Swiss music across eras, genres and dialects. Artists reinterpreted selected songs, bringing not only well-known works to the stage, but also the diversity of the people whose rights SUISA has represented for 100 years.

Closeness through personal perspectives

Between the musical contributions, stories, moderation and humorous moments opened up the meaning of the cooperative. The celebration avoided an institutional tone and became personal: a tribute to creativity, collaboration and the relationship between music and its audience.

A space for a shared anniversary

At Aura Zurich, Live Lab combined stage, live music and interactive screen content into one spatial production. The 360-degree projection strengthened the atmosphere in the room and gave the anniversary a visual layer that connected the evening beyond individual programme elements.
