Fête de la Musique in Montrouge

Fête de la Musique in Montrouge: 100% Local Artists

Montrouge has made a strong and original choice for its Fête de la Musique: to exclusively showcase local talent. Each year, the June 21st program is entirely composed of 100% Montrouge artists, offering a unique platform for the commune's musical vitality.

Five Stages for a Town in Celebration

On June 21st, Montrouge transforms into a true urban festival with five simultaneous stages taking over the town's public spaces:

Place Émile-Cresp — The Main Stage

The beating heart of Montrouge's Fête de la Musique is Place Émile-Cresp, transformed into a large outdoor stage starting at 5:30 PM. This main stage hosts the most significant acts of the program, in front of a large audience enjoying the early June evening.

In 2025, the 5:30 PM opening was by Soul Ki Peut, a big band of ten musicians offering a festive and infectious groove. At 6:15 PM, Damien took over with a mix of French chanson, pop, and reggae.

Square Robert Doisneau — Evening Stage

Square Robert Doisneau hosts concerts from 4:30 PM to 10 PM. In 2025, the choir Change de Ton performed there at 7 PM. This lively garden offers an intimate and green setting for evening concerts.

Jardin Toscan — Night Stage

Jardin Toscan, a green space recognizable by its Mediterranean vegetation, offers concerts from 5:30 PM to midnight. In 2025, the group Montrouge à Lèvres performed there at 7:30 PM in a relaxed and festive atmosphere until nightfall.

Place de l'Aquapol — Cultural Stage

Place de l'Aquapol hosts evening concerts. In 2025, the Orchestre d'Harmonie de Montrouge performed there at 8:30 PM, offering a moment of classical music and popular repertoire arranged for a large orchestra.

Église Saint-Joseph — Vocal Stage

Église Saint-Joseph (5 rue Henri Barbusse) opens its doors at 4 PM to host vocal music concerts. In 2025, the choir SoLaRé presented a program ranging from Purcell to the Beatles, demonstrating the versatility and quality of Montrouge's choral groups.

The Montrouge Identity of the Festival

By choosing to invite only local artists, Montrouge's Fête de la Musique asserts a strong identity. It's a bet on the richness of the commune's musical life—conservatory, music schools, choirs, amateur orchestras, and professional groups—and a recognition of local talent often unknown to the general public.
