World Music Day 2010 (Limassol)

The Alliance Française of Limassol has been organising for the past 5 years now, the Fête de la Musique on the 21st of June.
Completely different from a music festival, the Music Day is above all a free popular fête, open to any participant (amateur or professional musicians) who wants to perform in it. This Music day allows the expression of all styles of music in a cheerful atmosphere. It aims at a large audience, working to popularise musical practice for young and not so young people from all social backgrounds. It gives an opportunity to communicate and share a very special moment through music.

Our aim is to develop a cultural movement, promoting and involving the local actors, through their participation in a worldwide celebrated event.
