Fête de la Musique in Colombes

The Fête de la Musique in Colombes: three days of free concerts

Colombes, a city of 85,000 inhabitants in the Hauts-de-Seine department, celebrates the Fête de la Musique with generosity, extending it over three days around June 21st. Numerous amateur and professional artists, musical associations, and ensembles from the city's music schools will take over Colombes' public and cultural spaces for a popular, free, and accessible celebration for all.

L'Avant-Scène Théâtre: a pillar of the celebration

L'Avant-Scène Théâtre, the city's central cultural venue, plays a leading role in organizing the Fête de la Musique in Colombes. Each year, the theater mobilizes its musical and artistic ensembles—symphony orchestra, wind orchestra, saxophone ensemble, dance workshops, the Orphéon, and jazz workshops—to offer a rich program. The public can discover covers of musicals like Cabaret, Singin' in the Rain, West Side Story, or Grease, performed by students and teachers in a festive atmosphere.

Concerts in the neighborhoods

Beyond L'Avant-Scène, the Fête de la Musique in Colombes spreads throughout all the city's neighborhoods. Place Chavany, the cafes and restaurants in the city center, and associative spaces like C2Mains—the city's cultural and associative space—host concerts of various styles: electro, cabaret, French chanson, jazz, rock.

C2Mains: electro and contemporary music

C2Mains, Colombes' cultural and associative eco-lieu, offers electro and contemporary music concerts and DJ sets every year for the Fête de la Musique. DJ collectives, alternative rock bands, and emerging local artists take over this iconic venue for festive and uninhibited evenings.

Orchestras from the conservatory

The Conservatoire de Colombes actively participates in the Fête de la Musique by opening its doors and sending its musical ensembles into the city. Students from various classes—strings, winds, piano, vocals, jazz—perform for the public in an educational and festive atmosphere.

Colombes: a musical and associative city

Colombes is a city with intense associative life. Its musical scene, nourished by associations, private music schools, and the municipal conservatory, is particularly rich. The Fête de la Musique is the ideal opportunity to showcase it to the general public and share the musical passion of its inhabitants in a spirit of conviviality and free access.
