21.6 European Music Day
Wiki:The F黎e de la Musique, also known as World Music Day, is an annual music festival taking place on June 21 in cities around the world. In October 1981, Maurice Fleuret became Director of Music and Dance at Minister of Culture Jack Lang痴 request, and applied his reflections to the musical practice and its evolution: ォ the music everywhere and the concert nowhereォ . When he discovered, in a 1982 study on the cultural habits of the French, that five million people, one child out of two, played a musical instrument, he began to dream of a way to bring people out on the streets. It first took place in 1982 in Paris as the F黎e de la Musique.
Ever since, the festival has become an international phenomenon, celebrated on the same day in more than 460 cities in 110 countries, including Germany, Italy, Egypt, Syria, Morocco, Australia, Vietnam, Congo, Cameroon, Mauritius, Fiji, Colombia, Chile, Nepal, and Japan.
Its purpose is to promote music in two ways:
Amateur and professional musicians are encouraged to perform in the streets. The slogan Faites de la musique (Make music), a homophone of F黎e de la Musique, is used to promote this goal.
Many free concerts are organized, making all genres of music accessible to the public. Two of the caveats to being sanctioned by the official F黎e de la Musique organization in Paris are that all concerts must be free to the public, and all performers donate their time for free. This is true of most participating cities, now, as well.
Despite there being a large tolerance about the performance of music by the general public of amateurs in public areas after usual hours, the noise restrictions still apply, and can cause some establishments to be forbidden to open and broadcast music out of their doors without prior authorization. So the prefectures of police in France can still forbid them to install any audio hardware in the street.
In 2011, the festival utilized online booking site Gigmaven to organize its performers.

Hello Chris,
The image is perfectly cropped and the musician sufficiently lifted from the busy background. I like his expression of concentration. A well presented image with good colours and sharpness.

Καλησπέρα Χρήστο,
πολύ ωραίο πορτραίτο του μουσικού που είναι γοητευτικός και εκφραστικός και φαίνεται να απολαμβάνει τη στιγμή, τη μουσική και την κίνηση γύρω του. Το καδράρισμα είναι εξαιρετικά προσαρμοσμένο στη σκηνή, ο μουσικός είναι αδιαφιλονίκητος πρωταγωνιστής αλλά και το φόντο είναι πολύ ενδιφέρον με την κίνηση και τα χρώματα που περιέχει. Τα χρώματα είναι πάρα πολύ φυσικά και ευχάριστα. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καλή εβδομάδα,
Ουρανία

Bonjour Chris,
Il a toute une t黎e ce chanteur. Il a de belles rides, signe qu'il a vu passer de l'eau sous les ponts. Un beau petit sourire au coin des yeux.

Hi Chris
A good shot of a lively music show. The crop is effective and close enough showing this guy is clearly enjoying himself full of in depth concentration. I love the 'feel' to it and the ambient with lovely dof, it's perfectly sharp and vibrant. Enjoy your notes too. Well done,
Best regards

Hi Chris,
I like the color combination in this photo. The selective focus employed works very well. Was it the camera settings or postprocessing? Whichever way you achieved it, it looks very nice.
