World Music Day is an annual day of music celebration that takes place on 21st June on the summer solstice. The first occurrence happened in Paris in 1982, originated by Jack Lang, the former Minister of Culture of France. The celebration spread to other countries, where people are encouraged to play music in public, and free concerts are organised in most towns and cities for the benefit of all!
In Australia it will be the winter solstice, not really the weather for outdoor concerts. Even so my daughter is off to a concert on a boat this evening, so perhaps it is.
I feel very prepared to celebrate this day as I have spent so much time looking at the library's music books in readiness for the Book Week celebrations of Symphony of Stories.
Just put Book Week, music or Symphony of Stories in my search and lots of books will come up.
