On June 21st, Brisbane will host Fête de la Musique for the very first time. Fête de la Musique is a free multicultural, multi-community event which began in Paris in 1982. Every year on June 21st, hundreds of cities worldwide celebrate this event.

Presented by Brisbane City Council, Brisbane Marketing and Alliance Française, Fête de la Musique offers free concerts in a variety of indoor and outdoor locations, not traditionally dedicated to music. There will be a number of performance spaces throughout the Queen Street Mall and Fortitude Valley malls with a huge finalé concert scheduled at Reddacliff Place at the top of Queen Street Mall on George Street.

This event is a unique opportunity to encourage major music institutions, like orchestras and operas, to perform outside their usual locations. Being a multicultural event, many styles of music will be represented, including classical, jazz, rock, electronic, rap, pop, folk and traditional.

This is a non-profit event and artists can perform as many times as possible during the day. When a schedule is available, your intrepid reporter shall provide. What this space for information about what’s going to be a massive free music festival!
