Festival Tout'Ouïe

Festival Tout'Ouïe: A Musical Journey for Young Audiences

Since 2014, Festival Tout'Ouïe has been inviting families to immerse themselves in contemporary musical creation designed for children aged 0 to 10. Born from a partnership between La Ferme du Buisson, a national stage in Marne-la-Vallée, and JM France (Jeunesses Musicales de France), this festival has become an essential winter event for families in the Seine-et-Marne region.

A Traveling Festival that Reaches the Entire Region

The uniqueness of Tout'Ouïe lies in its traveling nature. While La Ferme du Buisson in Noisiel is the beating heart of the festival with its main day in December, the shows spread across nine towns in the region for two to three weeks: Champs-sur-Marne, Chelles, Lognes, Collégien, Vaires-sur-Marne, Roissy-en-Brie, Pontault-Combault, and Torcy. This territorial network allows it to reach a wide audience, in local venues — media libraries, community halls, schools — which become stages for live music.

Unique Sound Experiences

The Tout'Ouïe program favors diversity in musical forms: theatrical concerts where music meets storytelling, sensory sound reveries for toddlers, electro cine-concerts blending image and sound, and initiatory and imaginative musical adventures. Each show is designed to offer a first encounter with live music, in formats adapted for the youngest — short durations, proximity to artists, active audience participation.

The Curious Village: A Warm Moment in the Heart of Winter

The festival's main day at La Ferme du Buisson revolves around the Curious Village, a free animation space that transforms the venue into a festive and warm village. Wooden games, face painting, hot baths, video mapping, percussion and steeldrum workshops for children aged 3 and up: the Curious Village is a moment of family conviviality that extends the experience of the shows in a winter festive atmosphere.

Commitment to Musical Awakening

Supported by the DRAC Île-de-France, Festival Tout'Ouïe carries out a mission of musical awakening and awareness for the youngest. By offering high-quality artistic performances in local venues, the festival contributes to democratizing access to contemporary musical creation and nurturing the ears of tomorrow. About twenty performances are scheduled each year, six of which benefit from the support of the regional cultural affairs directorate.
