Fête de la Musique in Guyancourt

The Fête de la Musique in Guyancourt

As everywhere in France since 1982, the Fête de la Musique (Music Festival) honors musicians of all levels, amateurs and professionals alike. In Guyancourt, it is the last major highlight of the cultural season before the summer program, celebrating the diversity of musical practices and genres.

From afternoon at La Batterie and in the neighborhoods

The festival starts in the afternoon at the Jardin de l'Ermitage with the city's students and ensembles (children's choir, harmonies, piano class, batucada), then unfolds in the evening around La Batterie — in the parking lot, in the concert hall, at the auditorium, and in the rooms of the municipal school of music and dance (EMMD). Other stages animate the Espace Monod, Place du Marché, and Place Jacques Brel.

In total, around thirty concerts follow one another until late in the evening, in all styles: classical music, harmony, jazz, pop-rock, French song, and contemporary music. The sites are accessible to people with reduced mobility.
