The Permanent Missions of France and Canada to the Organization of American States are pleased to invite you to the event "La Francophonie en Chansons" which will be held in the auditorium of the Maison Française.

This event will be an opportunity to take a musical journey throughout the ages and to discover or rediscover famous songs and opera pieces from the French-speaking heritage.

The Month of La Francophonie is an opportunity to celebrate multilingualism in international organizations especially here in DC, at the OAS, as French is one of its four official languages.
