About the event
World music day or ‘Fête de la Musique’, as it was first known, has its origins in France. First thought up by Jack Lang and Maurice Fleuret from the French Ministry of culture in 1982, it was a day intended to encourage the mass performance of music. Now, the event has spread all over the world where musicians of all kinds (profesional and amature) play music in public for free. The day is celebrated in over 130 countries with more than 1,000 cities taking part.
How to approach it
The original intent of the day was inspired by Maurice Fleuret’s view that the performance of music in public was on the decline and so a day was required to encourage it. The point about the day is not about musical excellence but a chance for all musicians everywhere to play something. You could, for example, organise a concert in an assembly, outside in the playground or in your classroom. Encourage students who play an instrument to show your class what they’ve been practising recently or bring some new instruments for other students to try.
