What is La Folle Journée au Japon?
La Folle Journée is a classical music festival that was founded in 1995 in the port city of Nantes in western France with the aim of "democratizing classical music."Artists from all over the world will gather to perform first-class performances from morning until night, each lasting approximately 45 minutes, at a low price. In Japan, it has been held every year during Golden Week since 2005. In addition to paid performances, there are numerous events (concerts, children's programs, master classes, lectures, etc.*) that anyone can participate in by presenting a paid performance ticket (and ticket stub), making it enjoyable for everyone from children to adults. During the festival, mini concerts will also be held in the surrounding areas, such as Marunouchi, and the whole city will be filled with music.

Main features of La Folle Journée au Japon 2017
The theme is "La Danse: A Festival of Dance."
We will bring you the largest dance festival in the history of Japanese classical music.
Since ancient times, music has always been played wherever people dance. Dance, the most primitive form of expression, has always emerged from the masses along with music, and has influenced classical music from a very early stage.
This year's La Folle Journée will trace the close relationship between dance and music over the past 600 years, from the Renaissance to the present day. The exciting dynamism and explosive energy of the dance music fills the entire venue.
