Suzanne Ciani (live)

Event! Suzanne Ciani, a pioneer of electronic and neo-classical music, joins the lineup for Nuits Sonores 2025 for a special concert at the Célestins Theatre in Lyon on Sunday, June 1st at 4:00 PM.

A five-time Grammy-nominated composer, Suzanne Ciani is an iconic figure in both electronic and neo-classical music. With over 20 solo albums to her name, including the legendary *Seven Waves* and *The Velocity of Love*, she made a major shift with her quadruple album *LIVE Quadraphonic*, revitalizing her modular performances on the Buchla synthesizer. Suzanne also lent her voice and sounds to the famous *Xenon* pinball machine by Bally and created the *pop-and-pour*sound for Coca-Cola, earning her a spot among the world’s most creative and accomplished composers. A true living legend of sound synthesis, her journey has been immortalized in the documentaries *A Life in Waves*, which traces her life and career, and *Sisters with Transistors*, shedding light on the often-overlooked history of female pioneers in electronic music. A visionary, Suzanne Ciani embraced machines and their liberating technologies to radically transform how music is produced and heard today, paving the way for other women in a field long dominated by men.
