Mission

For nearly 40 years, Le Moulin à Musique has been fostering encounters between children and music. Through the creation and distribution of staged performances, we combine music with other art forms. We offer entertaining and educational performances and activities in a spirit of creation, discovery and exchange.

Under the direction of Marie-Hélène da Silva, Le Moulin à Musique explores a vast repertoire ranging from classical, baroque, contemporary to traditional music. Through our unique approach, we help broaden children’s horizons, preparing them to engage with quality musical works.

In the pursuit of this mission, Le Moulin à Musique remains socially engaged, reaching out to young people wherever they may be. In constant dialogue with children, through research and musical awakening workshops as well as performances, we foster gatherings that nourish their creative process.
