Conductor
Born in the Pays de Gex, Alain GOY has enjoyed two professional careers: in civil engineering and in music, with a focus on orchestras.
Alain graduated from the Geneva Conservatory in 1982 with a diploma in trumpet, and completed his musical training with advanced studies in music theory, harmony, piano and chamber music.
Vocal
Inspired and enthralled by: the power of Aretha Franklin, the ebulience of Freddy Mercury, the emotion of Nina Simone and the energy of Carmen McRae, Séverine Vaena has always sung the blues; it is what thrills, and connects her to the world.

"What we play is life." (Louis Armstrong)
Le Quintet du Big Band de Divonne animera la cérémonie des vœux de Pays de Gex agglo le 31 janvier, à Gex. Alain, toujours très attaché à Valserhône, a émis le souhait de venir jouer au théâtre Jeanne-d’Arc avec le Big Band. On espère que son vœu sera exaucé en 2023. N.R. Journaliste
Ce samedi soir, le concert était réhaussé d’une fabuleuse perle, une chanteuse invitée, au charme envoûtant : Séverine Vaëna. Avec sa voix profonde, chaleureuse et surtout généreuse, elle a fait passer le public par toutes les émotions qui vont des larmes à la joie. Bernard Tournebize Journaliste
