Fête de la Musique
Friday, June 19, 2009
On June 21, the day of the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, France celebrates the Fête de la Musique, a nationwide music festival. It brings people of different backgrounds and cultures together, and almost every community organizes festivities of some sort. This year, the bulk of the celebrations will no doubt take place Saturday night and last well into Sunday, but my employer chose to mark the occasion today. A small stage was set up outside the company restaurant, and several groups showed off their talents. Today’s picture shows the Amadeus choir, directed by Yann Nolle, performing one of several Bossa Nova numbers. You can listen to an iPhone recording of it, unfortunately taken at the low quality setting. Sorry about that...
