Annual General Meeting
On June 17, our annual general meeting was held in Geneva to review our progress in 2025. The minutes of this meeting, along with its appendices—the audited financial statements—were distributed to all our members.
Public Lecture
On June 25, we were once again pleased to welcome Swiss musicologist Paul-André Demierre to the GAMMAH Hall for a lecture dedicated to the diva Renata Tebaldi.
It was an opportunity to discuss her career—including audio clips—and her personal life, as well as her alleged rivalry with Maria Callas.
The evening continued with a convivial dinner attended by the speaker, who signed copies of his book, *Renata Tebaldi, an Exceptional Artist*, for the participants.

Exclusive cocktail for members
On July 2, Mr. Cédric Godot, a member of our association, gave us a warm welcome at a cocktail reception featuring Italian cuisine. It was a wonderful occasion for sharing and fellowship, allowing us to exchange our various ideas and perspectives on the future of our association.
