Greetings from the Alliance Française in Kathmandu (AFK)

As you maybe know, for the 15th year, AFK is organizing the Fête de la Musique between June 20 and 27, 2009.

Below, a small resentation of this event.

Also some communication tools enclosed.

The International Music (Day) Week (Fête de la Musique) is a musical event organized every year by the AFK, which will be in fact the International Music Week in 2009, between June 20 and June 27. Today, more than 340 cities in 110 countries World Wide are taking part in this free popular event dedicated to music.

The International Music Day was created by Jack Lang, the French minister for Culture, in 1982 in order to people to share the same passion: MUSIC.

Completely different from a music festival, the "Fête de la Musique" is above all a free popular event, 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.

In Nepal, the “Fête de la Musique” has become more and more popular.

Last year, on June 21, 2008, they organized this celebration on Durbar Marg, just in front of the old Palace, and this event gather more than 25 000 people during the afternoon. On that occasion, more than 10 bands performed.

They also organized smaller stages with our artistic partners at Kathmandu Jazz Conservatory, Nepali Folk Instrument Museum, Gurukul, Nepal Sangeet Vidhyalaya and Yala Maya Kendra with International Music Society.

In 2008, they were basically able to offer to the public the biggest musical event in Nepal.

This year, it is said that the concept will be a little bit different and they will have the chance to welcome a French band, quite popular in France nowadays, KWAK.

The KWAK concert will be on June 27, 2009, at Nach Ghar, Jamal.
