Every June 21, amateur and professional musicians take to the streets, as well as bars and restaurants, museums, churches, parks and gardens, to bring live music to life for a unique day and evening.

While rock, jazz, hip-hop, and French variety and electro are often in the spotlight, classical music is as well! For this Fête de la Musique 2026, taking place on Sunday, June 21, Viva l'Orchestra presents a new free concert bringing together more than 110 musicians at the Maison de la Radio et de la Musique.

This year marks the twelfth edition of Viva l’Orchestra !

After a year of rehearsals, the public performance takes place at the Auditorium of Radio France by this Orchestra of seasoned amateurs, guided by the musicians of the Orchestre National de France. And this year, it is Liubov Nosova who leads this Radio France Orchestra of seasoned amateurs alongside the musicians of the Orchestre National de France.
