World Music Day is being celebrated today, 21 June, in 22 European countries.

Since 1985, this celebration of music has spread beyond France’s borders, and Athens, the 1st European Capital of Culture, on the initiative of Melina Mercouri, was the first city to celebrate it outside France.

On this day, thousands of amateurs and up-and-coming and distinguished artists present their music live to thousands of citizens, and this celebration of music is a unique opportunity for the public to discover and enjoy different types of music, live & digitally.
