Fête de la musique

June 18, 2013 at 10:16 PM

It's this time of the year again and the Institut français d’Ecosse in Edinburgh will celebrate summertime in music on 21 June.

Launched in 1982 by the French ministry for culture, La Fête de la Musique has since become an unmissable annual event. Its concept: offering free concerts on the street and in public places, performed by voluntary musicians, both amateur and professional. Celebrated in over 110 countries around the world, it is now the world’s largest music event.

Once again, Edinburgh will join the event, so let’s get together to celebrate the summer solstice in music.

On the programme, artists such as Rosie Nimmo, the Beat Poets, a Belgian band and others will perform live and free at the French institute. This is one not to miss if you love fun, a touch of madness and pop music.

For more details check the Institut français d’Ecosse website.
