For this Fête de la musique 2024, the Swedish Cultural Institute is inviting a new artist to perform live in its garden. For the moment, we don't yet know the name of this talent, but it shouldn't be long now, so stay tuned! Remember that last year, the Swedish Institute opened its doors to French singer Ehla and then to 7ebra, a Swedish duo formed by Inez and Ella, twin sisters aged 25 from Malmö.

But that's not all, since the music festival at the Swedish Institute is also an opportunity to celebrate Midsommar, the famous ancestral tradition that marks the beginning of summer. Every year, on Midsommar, the Swedes erect a floral flagpole around which they dance and sing, wearing a wreath of flowers. On June 21, 2024, the garden of the Swedish Institute in Paris will host traditional Midsommar dances and songs, before the famous concert.
