Music Day in Germany and Switzerland
Under the motto "Musical Landscapes: Orchestra Summit", the Day of Music will take place in Germany from June 16 to 18, 2017. In Switzerland, the Day of Music will be held on June 21.
The Day of Music - or the Fête de la musique, as it is known in French-speaking regions - was initiated by former French Minister of Culture Jack Lang and is celebrated every year on June 21. In France, Germany and other European countries, as well as in French-speaking Switzerland, the TdM/FdM has long been an integral part of the annual calendar.
The German Day of Music is an initiative of the entire German music scene under the umbrella of the German Music Council. On the third weekend in June, choirs, orchestras, music and general education schools, opera houses and many other institutions showcase the diversity and quality of musical practice in Germany, the land of music.
