Évènements
The SELMER Music Festival in June 2025
Three Events |
Henri SELMER Paris offers you three exceptional dates of concerts and festivities:
On June 21, “Fête de la Musique” day, the festival opens in Montmartre, where Henri Selmer opened his first workshop in 1885. Place Charles Dullin (formerly Place Dancourt) will be the scene of an immersion in the SELMER universe, with free open-air concerts.
On June 27 and 28, the SELMER Music Festival takes place in a majestic and magical setting: the Cirque d'Hiver, a historic Parisian monument. On this legendary stage, 140 internationally renowned artists will take you on an exceptional musical journey, exploring a mosaic of styles: classical, jazz, baroque, world music…
June 27 will be dedicated to classical and contemporary music: an evening where Mozart meets the world premiere of a double concerto for clarinet and saxophone, and where Bach mixes with the sounds of the saxophone and cello. The evening will switch to the second part with the Sirba Octet, a must-see group on the Klezmer scene, with its guests David Krakauer, Philippe Berrod, Nicolas Arsenijevic and many other surprises!
June 28 promises to be a wild evening of jazz. The young generation of musicians will be in the spotlight, with bold fusions of clarinet, electro and traditional jazz. And to end with a fireworks display: the All Star SELMER Big Band, the crème de la crème of the jazz scene…
The SELMER Music Festival promises to be an enchanting experience, worthy of 140 years of heritage and excellence. Join us in celebrating this anniversary!
