Jazz marathon in celebration of Music Day

“la création artistique n’est pas l’ornement de la société, elle en est la conscience”
“artistic creation is not the ornament of society, it represents its consciousness” (Maurice Fleuret)

Jazz and today’s musics come alive in immediate action, to quote the evocative formula of Fleuret, musician and Director of Music at the French Ministry of Culture in the 1980s. He stated then that “the situation and necessity must be created for these musical actions and gestures to be possible.”

To him, among other things, we owe the creation of the Fête de la Musique; his words have inspired an extraordinary musical journey that will take place in Rome’s Piazza Farnese on June 21 and 22, 2024, designed by Rome’s City Hall I, the French Embassy in Rome and the Institut Francais.

The musicians will meet to make music together, respecting and listening to each other and beyond any idea of borders: rather with a deep desire to exchange experiences and ideas, in the sign of the proximity not only geographical between France and Italy.

The program features music that is diverse and not easily classified but has great communicative power, mestizo sounds that happily blend together, a joyful and surprising mix.
Many of the invited groups will play national premieres; each of the music school groups will be directed by the teacher, a distinguished musician.
