Tous en harmonie, le Week-end des Orchestres, sponsored by André Manoukian, January 24 and 25, 2026.
The 23rd UNESCO Week of Sound, which runs from January 19 to February 1, 2026 in Paris and throughout France, officially launches this year’s “Weekend of Orchestras” on January 24 and 25, 2026.
Our project is based on one of the pillars of our NGO’s charter: the promotion of musical expression and sound.
Indeed, all scientific research shows that musical practice is a factor in both personal and collective equilibrium, in listening to oneself and to others, and that it contributes to the development of cognitive performance at all ages.
As a UNESCO-accredited advocacy NGO, we are also aware that instrumental play helps to combat violence and promote inclusion.
For the first time in France, in every region, we are inviting all orchestras to perform over the weekend of January 24-25, 2026, to showcase their work on a national level and invite as many people as possible to discover the pleasure of playing an instrument.
The concerts will be covered by “La Semaine du Son”, and media coverage will be provided by our partners such as France Télévisions.
If you’re a musician in an orchestra, amateur or professional, come and join this unique event to showcase your band.
