Alliance Française de Dhaka celebrates ‘Fête de la Musique 2017’ which is globally known as ‘World Music Day’ in its La Galerie on Wednesday from 12:00 noon to 6:00pm.

Fête de la Musique brings about a great opportunity to immerse and participate in a musical expedition by offering thousands of free concerts all over the world.

Celebrated every 21st June, the day of the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, the fête de la musique began in 1982 by the then French minister for culture Jack Lang.

In 1985, the fête de la musique became European and now more than 120 countries and around 350 cities participate in this event. The fête de la musique is the free ‘fête’, open to any participants, amateur or professional musicians. It celebrates live music in all its diversity and aims at a large audience.

Alliance Française de Dhaka will organise a series of group and solo musical events to celebrate fête de la musique this year.
