For the 41st anniversary of the Fête de la Musique, come and celebrate music on Wednesday, June 21, 2023 at the National Archives in Paris, alongside Young Talents in classical music!
If I tell you June 21, you answer me? Yes, the famous, mythical, legendary Fête de la musique! Since 1982, this popular, festive and free musical event has been delighting music lovers young and old. Every June 21, as musicians take the opportunity to bring out their instruments, music lovers take to the streets, bars and restaurants, concert halls, museums and churches, to live to the rhythm of live music. Whether it's rock, rap, reggae, classical music, electro or jazz and blues... live music is the focus of attention every June 21.
The Fête de la Musique is also an opportunity to discover new and young talent. Every year, the Jeunes Talents association takes advantage of the event to offer a unique, free musical experience. The Jeunes Talents association, founded in 1998 and recognized as a charitable organization, organizes concerts and educational activities to promote talented young musicians at the start of their careers.
Throughout the year, these concerts offer the opportunity to discover the great musicians of tomorrow, in exceptional venues. As proof of its commitment, Jeunes Talents organizes nearly 160 concerts in the Paris region and elsewhere during the season and the festival.
This year, to mark the 41st anniversary of the Fête de la Musique, the Jeunes Talents association once again invites you to vibrate to the rhythm of classical music. Join us in the Cour d'Honneur of the Archives Nationales in Paris on Wednesday, June 21, 2023, for a series of free mini-concerts (no reservations required) starting at 3pm.
This new Fête de la musique is an opportunity to travel through the centuries and (re)discover the richness of the classical music repertoire performed by these exceptional musicians embodying the new generation of classical artists!
