Background of World Music Day
Maurice Fleuret, who was the French Ministry of Cultures Director of Music and Dance at the time, decided to establish World Music Day in 1982. Five million French people including one out of every two young people played an instrument in 1982 according to a study on the country’s cultural customs. The French Minister was even more inspired by this discovery to organize a celebration of music that would bring people out into the streets.
Fleuret founded the Fête de la Musique or World Music Day in Paris on the Summer Solstice with Jack Lang. Over 1000 musicians took part in the special event performing throughout the city. Since then it has become well-known throughout the world and on June 21 musicians perform, sing and play instruments in parks, streets and concert halls to spread their love of music.
