Classical music invites itself to theEglise Saint-Roch, in Paris's 1st arrondissement, for the new Fête de la Musique. Every year, this popular, festive and free event is an opportunity for many musicians, amateurs and professionals alike, to bring out their instruments and make live music resound in the street, but also in bars, restaurants, concert halls, museums and other unusual places.
On Wednesday, June 21, 2023, from 8:30 to 10:30 pm, the music of the Gardiens de la Paix will vibrate within the walls of theEglise Saint-Roch during an exceptional free concert.
The reed ensemble of the Musique des gardiens de la paix (clarinets, saxophones, accompanied by a double bass), will be offering an original musical program for this 2023 fête de la musique that is sure to thrill you.
Created in 1929 at the Préfecture de Police, the Musique des gardiens de la paix is a unique musical group of 121 musicians, comprising a wind band and a brass band. The Musique des gardiens de la paix caters to all audiences, whether outdoors, on the many bandstands in Paris parks and gardens, or in tourist venues such as the forecourt of Notre-Dame de Paris or the Jardin du Luxembourg.
With over 200 ceremonies a year, the Musique des gardiens de la paix also takes part in all the major events in the history of the capital and the nation. For the Préfecture de Police, the annual highlight is undoubtedly the commemoration of August 19, 1944.
