Fête de la musique

The French Institute invites you to la Fête de la Musique, a vibrant, festive & free evening of live music, on 21 June, from 19.30 to 23.00.

Join rock sensation The Perikats, pop poet George Ka and DJ duo Sunana and be prepared to hit the dance floor!

The event is inspired by the French Fête de la Musique (Music Day), the annual celebration of music taking place on the day of the summer solstice every year in France. From young musicians to emerging and acclaimed artists it features free music concerts.

The Perikats, a group of passionate young students of the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle, will kick off the evening playing a repertoire of rock music in the Institute’s foyer. Their energy and spontaneity will set the tone for a festive evening in a warm atmosphere.

George Ka embodies a new generation of francophone artists, at the crossroads between slam, chanson, folk and pop. Both incisive and delicate, her music touches on topics of identity and emancipation with a rare sincerity. Accompanied by her musicians, she will take over the library for an electric concert rhythmed by powerful words. 

And for those tempted to take part, a karaoke space will also be available—choose your song and add your voice to the celebration!

The evening will end on a high with the Franco-British duo Sunana who will change the library into a dancefloor, with a festive and rhythmic electro set. Inspired by their diverse roots, the duo mixes house, Latin percussions and afrobeats to create catchy tracks. 

An irresistible invitation to rock the dance floor until (almost) midnight to celebrate music in all its forms! 

Free entrance on a first come, first served basis. Early reservation recommended.
