The “Music Day” was first celebrated in 1982 in Paris, at the initiative of the Minister of Culture of France, Jacques Lang. Since 1985 the celebration has spread and Athens as European Capital of Culture was the first city outside France, which held the Festival of Music. Within a few years, the “Music Day” became a annual event of a major European cultural event which takes place on 21st of June in more than 22 countries, from Ireland to Kazakhstan and the Baltic countries to Cyprus.
