MAKE MUSIC NY EVENT

 
June 21, 2009
beginning at 11am

3 stages at RAA - Over 20 bands



Now in its third year, Make Music New York, "the largest music event ever to grace Gotham" (Metro New York), is a unique festival of free concerts in public spaces throughout the five boroughs of New York City, all on Sunday, June 21st, the first day of summer. MMNY takes place simultaneously with similar festivities in more than 327 cities around the world — a global celebration of music making.

From 11 in the morning to 10 at night, musicians of all ages, creeds, and musical persuasions — from hip hop to opera, Latin jazz to punk rock — perform on streets, sidewalks, stoops, plazas, cemeteries, parks and gardens. From high school bands to marquee names, MMNY is open to anyone who wants to take part, enjoyed by everyone who wants to attend.

Along with the hundreds of individual concerts, MMNY will introduce a new project this year called "Mass Appeal," where hundreds of musicians band together to perform massive pieces written for a single type of instrument.

MMNY is also celebrating Jazzmobile's 45th anniversary this year with a special series of jazz events in each borough.
