European Music Day
Each summer solstice, members of the European Music Day network (aka Fête Européenne de la Musique) organise free concerts all around their cities. Athens takes the event to heart, with numerous concerts and special performances.
Unlike a music festival, which normally focuses on one composer or one
specific type of music and follows a programme selected by an artistic
director, European Music Day is a free event and is open to anyone who
wants to perform.
The event also encourages the major music
institutions to perform outside their usual locations and to embrace
styles of music outside their traditionally accepted genres. Preferred
locations include the open-air, streets, parks, courtyards and museums.
Stages crop up all over town, with big ones being used for the evening
performances. Greek talent from across the country comes together, with a
broad range of musical genres represented.
