The city of Paris in France is sometimes called as the City of Lights and Gay Paris. Paris has always been a very jovial and festive city since the Middle-Ages. Paris has always been a center of expositions, fairs, and exhibits in Europe. Paris is a truly cosmopolitan city. Paris is a melting pot of
European culture.
The
violent French Revolution never erased the vivacious spirit of the French people. The city of Paris celebrates a wide range of festivals and events each year, from Christmas to Chinese New Year, from Gay Pride to music festivals. The Festival du Chopin a Paris is an annual music festival held in the Orangerie de Bagatelle in Paris.
This Festival is held between late June and early July. This music festival features candlelit piano concerts in honor of the great polish composer and pianist,
Fryderic Chopin. The festival will be on its 23rd season this year. Last year’s festival featured 15 pianists -- both known and aspiring artists. Last year’s festival was devoted to elude, a music composition genre which was turned into a piano poem by Chopin.
