Fete de la Musique (Music festival)   Google Translate June 21, 2010
The theme for this 29th festival year is “Musique au feminine” (“Tribute to women”).
The festival pays tribute to the inspirational muses and the heroines in lyric operas and their mythical interpretations and more diverse avenues for the feminine voice. Let’s not forget the female voices of jazz, rock singers and the younger generation of French songstresses, the vigilante female over the crib, singers on the streets and more are part of our musical heritage.
The program (programme) will be available on their website at the beginning of June.

PARADE
