The Fête de la Musique (FDM) is a music festival created in France in 1981 and celebrated throughout the world usually on 21 June to welcome the summer season with joy and good humour. It is an important artistic musical event that is popular, open and above all convivial. The Fête de la Musique promotes music in two ways: firstly, it encourages amateur musicians to perform voluntarily in the streets and public spaces. On the other hand, thanks to the organisation of numerous free concerts, both amateur and professional, it gives a wide audience access to music of all kinds and origins: classical music, jazz, rock, world music, traditional music... The Fête de la Musique has been celebrated in Bangalore and in the network of Alliances Françaises in India for over 40 years. Given the presence of an important artistic musical breeding ground in Bangalore, the celebration of the FDM has always been popular and has never lost its momentum. As a launching pad, FDM has enabled many groups to build their reputation. This year, and especially to ward off the bad luck of covid, the theme chosen for the festival is BACK TO LIFE. The Alliance Française de Bangalore, The Bangalore School of Music and Bangalore Creative Circus, three partners involved in the promotion of music in Bangalore, have come together to make FDM 2022 a resounding celebration. Thus, the Music Festival will be celebrated not only on several dates but more importantly in 3 different locations:
