Make Music Harvard Square Festival/Fête de la Musique in Cambridge Vol. 3
A Parisian atmosphere filled the air around Harvard Square on June 19, 2010. More than 150 local bands from every genre performed live in 20 different spots as part of the third edition of the Make Music Harvard Square. The festival is directly inspired by the French street music festival “Fête de la Musique” that celebrates the beginning of the summer. In total, more than 12’000 people stopped and enjoyed the pleasant combination of great weather and music outdoors. After the sunset, listeners gathered in front of the main stage in Winthrop Park for a memorable concert by Lulu Gainsbourg (the son of the French singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg), followed by the French DJ Kamal.
swissnex Boston sponsored the event for the second consecutive year. Gabriela Martina, a young and dynamic Swiss singer from Lucerne who just completed her degree at Berklee College of Music, added the Swiss notes to the French festival.
