La Symphonie des Sourires
12 April 2026
The Symphony of Smiles: 200 Young Musicians Play for the Children of Cambodia On April 12, the Cirque d’Hiver Bouglione will host The Symphony of Smiles, two benefit concerts performed by the young musicians of the Petites Mains Symphoniques orchestra to support the Pour un Sourire d’Enfant (For a Child’s Smile) association. A symbolic event: young musicians from all over France will play to support underprivileged children in Cambodia.
Led by Eric du Faÿ, founder of Petites Mains Symphoniques, the orchestra will bring together musicians aged 6 to 24. The program includes symphonic music, traditional Cambodian dances and music, as well as special guests such as Lou Deleuze, winner of the 2025 Junior Eurovision Song Contest, and pianist François-René Duchâble.
The evening will also mark two anniversaries: 30 years of work by Pour un Sourire d’Enfant in Cambodia and 20 years of commitment by Petites Mains Symphoniques to young musicians. Testimonials about thirty years of work will be presented by the Franco-Cambodian journalist Raphaël Yem.
