On June 21st, Zagreb is becoming one big concert stage, as dozens of both amateur and professional musicians play for free around the city for World Music Day.
In 1976, American musician Joel Cohen, then an employee of a French radio, had an idea of a day in which the world celebrated music and all the joy and good it brought to all of us. The day he proposed was June 21st, on summer solstice, the day that humanity had celebrated throughout its history as one of life and rebirth. Then current French Minister of Culture Jack Lang had accepted the idea in 1981, and a year later the first World Music Day came to life. Starting of as a celebration of music in France the event had eventually spread to Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, India, Pakistan and other countries.
Since 2005, the event, with the slogan faites de la musique (Let’s Make Music), got an international character. More than one hundred countries and their musicians now partake in the celebration. Ten cities around Croatia will join in on the 2016 celebrations, with Zagreb having twelve open air stages set up around the city center where street performers, choirs, folk ensembles, bands, amateurs and professionals alike will celebrate music.
In the tradition of the Day, almost all mayor genres of music will be presented on those twelve stages, starting from around 4/5pm on most of them.
