Fête de la Musique in Sucy-en-Brie

The Fête de la Musique in Sucy-en-Brie: Music in the Old Briard Village

Sucy-en-Brie, with its picturesque old village, its 12th-century Saint-Martin church, and its numerous green spaces, offers a prime setting for the Fête de la Musique. Every June 21st, the alleys and squares of the village come alive with music, from late afternoon until the summer night falls. This festival, held in one of the most rural settings in the Val-de-Marne, attracts residents of Sucy as well as visitors from surrounding towns.

The Conservatory in the Open Air

The intercommunal music conservatory plays a central role in the Fête de la Musique of Sucy-en-Brie. Its students and musical ensembles perform outdoors in the old village, offering the public the chance to appreciate the musical work done throughout the year:

• String orchestra concert in the space in front of the church
• Brass ensemble parading through the village streets
• Choir from the singing school concert on the main square
• Duets and solos by young musicians in the nooks and crannies of the village

Open-Air Stages and Rock Concerts

In addition to the conservatory's program, the town of Sucy-en-Brie hosts amplified music bands — rock, pop, French chanson — on stages set up in the most spacious public areas. These more electric and festive concerts attract a young audience and create a summer party atmosphere that contrasts pleasantly with the more intimate atmosphere of classical concerts.

The Château Park in Music

Sucy-en-Brie boasts an exceptional natural and architectural gem: the Parc du Château de Sucy, one of the most beautiful private estates in Île-de-France. Although usually with restricted access, open-air concerts are sometimes organized in the adjacent green spaces during the Fête de la Musique, taking advantage of the romantic and bucolic setting of this estate to offer unique musical experiences.
