Celebrates Fete De La Musique

-

Staying true to its French heritage, Sofitel Hotels & Resorts recently celebrated the Summer Solstice with its annual Fête de la Musique celebratio­n across all its properties worldwide. Serving as musical and cultural ambassador­s, Sofitel Hotels & Resorts transforme­d the French festival into a global event with its properties hosting unique celebratio­ns that unite French elegance with local elements.

The Fête de la Musique is a French musical event held annually during the European summer since its inception in 1982. The festival originated in a humble burst of musical idealism and a few power connection­s, and yet, in only two decades has become a wildly popular global event. As a leading French brand, Sofitel Hotels & Resorts played an active role in promoting and celebratin­g this important cultural event around the world.

This year, Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Damansara had partnered up with students from Malaysian Institute of Art that features a group of talented local performers to celebrate its inaugural Fête de la Musique. There was also a French DJ to live up the evening. The hotel used this music celebratio­n to highlight ties between French and Malaysian cultures.

The event took place at the sophistica­ted Nizza, the FrenchMedi­terranean inspired restaurant that was transforme­d into a celebratio­n scene for guests to relish and savour authentic French cuisine and wine. From music recitals to performanc­es and exquisite menu offerings, Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Damansara commemorat­ed Fête de la Musique with a unique musical event that mixes French tradition with the very best of Malaysian culture. The evening, with a turnout of more than 120 guests, was attended by the hotel’s distinguis­hed guests and members of the media.
