The preparation of the second edition of the Fête de la Musique Halifax has begun. The Alliance Française of Halifax, Le Conseil communautaire du Grand Havre, Canadian Parents for French and the Radio Communautaire are collaborating once again to bring the 27-year-old international celebration to Halifax. On June 21st Halifax will join cities around the world in the celebration of music. Volunteer professional and amateur musicians of various musical styles will be performing on three stages around the city. This year, the chosen subject is Movie Theme Music. The first challenge will be to create a line-up of local professional and amateur musicians of all cultural backgrounds and musical styles. Country or classical, sax or sitar, whatever your thing is, if you are a musician, budding or seasoned, or you know someone who might be interested, please get involved in the celebration. The objective is to reach as many people as possible, so all proposals are welcome. Contact Mathilde at the Alliance Française to send in a demo today. The Alliance is located in the Hydrostone Market on Young Street or phone 455-4411.
