Alliance Française’s musical performance in Dhaka Thursday

Alliance Française de Dhaka will celebrate "Fete de la Musique 2018", globally known as 'World Music Day', with a series musical performance.

It will be held at La Galerie of the French institute on Thursday from 3pm to 9pm, reports UNB.

The musical day is aimed at integrating peoples through the universal language of melody and rhythm.

The Fete de la musique inspires an overture to a participative lyrical voyage by putting forward thousands of free concerts all over the world, the news agency quoted a press release issued on Tuesday.

Celebrated on the day of the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, the Fete de la musique was initiated in 1982.

Today more than 120 countries and around 350 cities partake in this event.

This is the free 'fete', open to any participants, non-professional or professional musicians.

Like every year, Alliance Française de Dhaka is organising a number of musical concerts - both solo and group performances, as well as an open stage.

Fete de la musique brings about a great opportunity to immerse and participate in a musical expedition by offering thousands of free concerts all over the world, said the press release.
