Fête de la Musique is an annual free Musical Celebration open to all musicians, amateurs of all levels or professionals. It celebrates music and highlights the diversity of musical practices, as well as musical genres. It targets all audiences and aims at familiarising people from all walks of life with the diversity of musical expression. Where does the Fête de la Musique / World Music Day come from? It all started 35 years ago in France. In 1982, a survey of French cultural practices was carried out by the Department of Studies and Research of the Ministry of Culture and revealed that five million people, including one in two young people, played a musical instrument. However, all musical events organised only concerned a minority of the French. So the Ministry of Culture planned to create a grand and popular event that would give all musicians a stage to express themselves and a way to get themselves known by a larger public. And, unlike a typical music festival, anyone and everyone would be invited to join and play music, or host performances. The event would take place on the summer solstice, June 21, and would be called Fête De La Musique. (In French, the name means both “festival of music” and “make music!”)
