Place de la République has become the real heart of Paris since the unforgettable November events.
It is the Remembrance center and since the end of March the meeting point of Youth meetings to find new keys for this world. I wished I had time and energy to go to these open sessions where it is possible to join and listen to talks and open think- tanks where it is possible to imagine another world, at least to exchange ideas and options to come out of the cynical and oppressive one we know.
On the 20th, 350 musicians gathered on Place de la République to play Dvorak's New World Symphony.
Yesterday morning France Musique gave a live report of the event:

Culture and Art are part of the solutions, and they are proving it with open free participation of musicians of all types of music. On the 20th Classical music made a fantastic move!
Hope always comes from the younger generation. It is reassuring to witness they are thinking about new participative solutions. Utopia is not dead !
