About
Each month, a different program allows children to discover singing and instruments in a relaxed way, alternating musical moments with direct interactions where children are free to express themselves.
On mats and in their parents' arms, children discover music, all kinds of instruments, sing, dance, have fun, and marvel in an intimate and friendly atmosphere.
These are family concerts: a moment of connection between parents and children; an hour spent in a relaxed atmosphere for a gentle discovery of the wonders of the musical world. Children can move around the room and approach the musicians; they are thus free to establish a genuine contact with this fascinating world.

Our take on this event
Forget about stiff concerts where stillness is mandatory; here, your little ones become the conductors of their own musical discovery. Between singing along and dancing freely, let them get up close and personal with the performers in an intimate space designed for pure family wonder.
Mélomanes en culotte courte offers children up to 7 years old a gentle introduction to music at the Grelot gymnasium of Collège Buffon in the 15th arrondissement. Between October 2026 and April 2027, these monthly sessions provide an interactive experience where music and instruments are discovered through play. Sitting on mats, children are encouraged to move freely, dance, and engage directly with the performers in a relaxed, intimate setting. This is a ticketed event, and advance booking is required to attend these musical family moments.
Collège Buffon welcomes young music lovers up to age 7 for monthly sessions designed to foster a natural and spontaneous connection with music. Whether discovering the fanfare royale in October, celebrating Christmas in December, or exploring dance in April, each meeting features a unique program that alternates between live performances and direct interaction with the children.
The setting is designed for comfort, with mats provided for families to sit together. This environment allows children to move about the room, get close to the musicians, and explore the instruments in a stress-free atmosphere. Each one-hour concert is crafted as a moment of connection, blending active listening with movement.
Sessions take place at the Grelot gymnasium, located at 14 boulevard Pasteur, on the following dates: October 3rd and 4th, 2026, December 5th and 6th, 2026, and April 24th and 25th, 2027. Attendance is subject to a fee, and booking in advance is mandatory to secure your spots.
