A fresh edition of World Music Day! As every year, this popular, festive event takes place on June 21. And as usual, amateur and professional musicians are invited to bring out their instruments and let vibrant live music echo through Paris and across France. From the street to concert halls, bars and restaurants, institutions, parks and gardens, museums and monuments: on June 21 each year, live music fills every corner, thrilling both performers and music lovers.
On Sunday, June 21, 2026, the Fête de la Musique returns to the Mémorial de la Shoah in Paris. This History museum houses a wealth of testimonies, archives, photographs, texts, videos, and audio recordings that illuminate the history of Jews in France, the rise of Nazism, and the crimes committed during those years of war. An accessible, educational entrée for children and deeply moving for adults: a space open to everyone.
On June 21, 2026, the forecourt of the Mémorial de la Shoah de Paris will host a unique, free musical evening for all to enjoy. The lineup begins at 5:00 PM with the Parisian group AutorYno, blending klezmer, rock, and jazz. At 6:30 PM, the trio Degré 41 takes the stage, featuring Vadim Sher (piano and lyrics), Dimitri Artemenko (violin), and Yuri Shraibman (clarinet and saxophone).
So join us on June 21, 2026, from 5 p.m., at the Shoah Memorial in Paris to experience this free musical moment!
### As part of the Festival of Jewish Cultures.
5h - Concert : AutorYno
The Paris-based group AutorYno delivers a fusion of klezmer, rock and jazz: a true melting pot of electrifying sounds. Updating the repertoire that touches on Yiddish roots, the band continues to reinvent, with a contemporary vocabulary, the musical tradition of the itinerant klezmorim of the Ashkenazi world. Their first three albums appeared on John Zorn’s label, Tzadik, and the trio regularly collaborates with top-tier artists: David Krakauer, Denis Cuniot, Gary Lucas (guitarist from Jeff Buckley), and Marc Urselli, Zorn and Lou Reed’s collaborator. For this special Memorial date, AutorYno will perform highlights from their discography along with original pieces written specifically for the occasion.
With David Konopnicki (guitars), Guillaume Grosso (saxophone and electronics), Bertrand Delorme (bass), and Cyril Grimaud (drums).
6:30 PM - Concert : Degré 41
Under the aegis of the Russian avant-garde in exile in Tbilisi in 1918 and founder of the University of 41°, named after the city’s latitude, the trio Degré 41 also sprang from a movement and a meeting: Dimitri Artemenko, Vadim Sher, Estonian-born, and Yuri Shraibman, Ukrainian-born. Born of the discipline of formal training in the former USSR and a passion for Eastern European traditional musics, the trio’s distinctive sound grows from the complementarity of its members: Dimitri’s modern violin responds to Yuri’s jazz-inflected improvisations, all guided by Vadim’s compositional craft, seasoned with a love of show, literature, and cinema.
With Vadim Sher (piano and lyrics), Dimitri Artemenko (violin), and Yuri Shraibman (clarinet and saxophone).
