ten proposals everywhere in France

►The Orchester de Paris under the Louvre Pyramid at 10 p.m.

It is a tradition that is now firmly rooted: for the Orchester de Paris, the Fête de la Musique takes place under the Louvre Pyramid, with more than 2,000 free seats available by reservation. This year, under the direction of Klaus Mäkelä, the concert also kicks off the first edition of the Summers of the Louvre. In homage to the “Naples in Paris” exhibition, the program includes three pieces by Giacomo Puccini and Giovanni Gabrieli, as well as the hypnotic and mysterious Atmospheres by György Ligeti, then, in apotheosis, the Firebird suite by Stravinsky, sumptuous and exhilarating symphonic flight.

►Concert of the Choirs of the Cathedral and the choirs of the colleges in Nantes at 7 p.m.

If there is one instrument that everyone has and can deploy, it is the voice. From childhood to old age, as an amateur or a professional, singing provides rare emotions and irreplaceable benefits. The pre-Master’s degree and the Master’s degree at Nantes Cathedral provide a fine example of this for celebrating music with the public, through transcriptions and large pages of choral art. The artists of the cathedral will be joined by several choirs from Nantes colleges.

►Évasion string orchestra in Divonne-les-Bains at 8:15 p.m.

At the Maison de la Musique in Divonne, in the Ain, the formation bringing together students from four schools in the Pays de Gex will deliver to the spectators the fruit of its work. It will bear witness to the happiness and stimulation provided by collective playing within an orchestra. The musical menu is varied, Évasion addressing the baroque repertoire as well as contemporary music, including cinema standards. The string orchestra is open to teenagers and adults in violin, viola and cello classes. Notice to fans who would like to join them… for the Fête de la Musique 2024!
