June 21 sees the return of the Fête de la Musique, a popular, festive, convivial and, above all, free event. Every June 21, musicians, both amateur and professional, bring out their instruments to offer music-lovers and the curious some fine musical moments. Whether on the street, in a bar, a concert hall, a museum, a church or a cultural center, musicians and spectators alike enjoy the moment.

The Fête de la musique also showcases the breadth and diversity of musical practices, and all musical genres: rock, electro, metal, classical music, French variety, reggae...

In 2023, the Fête de la musique returns to theSwedish Institute, the sublime venue located behind the doors of the Hôtel de Marle, in Paris's 3rd arrondissement. Throughout the year, the Swedish Institute showcases rich collections of Swedish artists and Franco-Swedish links. Music is also well represented.

For this Fête de la musique 2023, the Swedish Cultural Institute is inviting two female artists to perform live in its garden: French singer Ehla and 7ebra, the Swedish duo formed by Inez and Ella, twin sisters aged 25 from Malmö.

But that's not all, as 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 crown of flowers. On June 21, 2023, the garden of the Swedish Institute in Paris will play host to traditional Midsommar songs and dances from 5.30pm, before the double-concert at 7.30pm. Note that the artist Eskelina will guide the traditional Midsommar songs and dances, around the flower mast.
