Celebrating music on June 21? The Bibliothèque historique de la Ville de Paris is the place to be! The Quintette de cuivres de la Musique des gardiens de la paix performs in the courtyard of this monument, offering a light-hearted musical experience.
The Fête de la Musique is an annual celebration that began in France in 1982. It was launched by the French Minister of Culture, Jack Lang, with the aim of promoting music in all its diversity, and enabling everyone - professionals and non-professionals alike - to perform free of charge in the streets and public spaces. Since then, the Fête de la Musique has spread to many countries around the world, becoming a truly international tradition that brings people together to enjoy music .
On the afternoon of Wednesday June 21, the Musique des gardiens de la paix will play in the courtyard of the Bibliothèque historique de la Ville de Paris.
