To round off the Fête nationale 2024 in style, the Orchestre National de France, the Maîtrise and the Choeur de Radio France are organizing a grand symphony concert on Sunday July 14. This year, to coincide with the Paris Olympics, the free concert has been moved from the Champ-de-Mars, opposite the Eiffel Tower, to the forecourt of the Hôtel de Ville.

Following on from the success of previous years, Paris is once again hosting a grand symphony concert to celebrate its national holiday.

But this year, due to the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games, this traditional"Concert de Paris" will not take place on the Champ-de-Mars, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. This summer, the great"Concert de Paris" is moving to a new venue, the parvis de l'Hôtel de Ville, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris.

On June 21, for the Fête de la Musique, a participatory and inclusive gala concert, led by the Orchestre de chambre de Paris, also took place on the parvis de l'Hôtel de Ville de Paris.

On July 14, 2024, the "Concert de Paris" will be a new event. As Radio France indicates on its website, access to the Hôtel de Ville forecourt is free and without reservation.

In terms of programming, this grand symphonic concert is once again orchestrated by theOrchestre National de France, the Chœur de Radio France and the Maîtrise de Radio France. The Orchestre National de France, the Maîtrise and the Chœur de Radio France, not to mention the greatest international soloists invited especially for the occasion, are sure to make this musical moment unique, before singing a vibrant Marseillaise.

So, after soprano Ermonela Jaho, French mezzo-soprano Stéphanie d'Oustrac, tenor Jonas Kaufmann, bass-baritone Ludovic Tezier and Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang, who will have the honor of treading the ephemeral stage installed on July 14, 2024 on the forecourt of Paris' Hôtel de Ville ? For the moment, the program has not yet been unveiled. So stay tuned to find out!
