"Make Music" celebrations will fill the air with music worldwide in 460 cities across 116 countries on June 21, 2012. The National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) is now lending promotional support to the growing Make Music New York celebration. Free concerts and hands-on, recreational music-making opportunities will be open to all throughout the longest day of the year. Major participating U.S. cities include New York City, Chicago, and Pasadena, with new events launching in Denver, Los Angeles and Santa Fe.
NAMM supports a wide variety of programs dedicated to increasing awareness of the proven benefits and joy of playing musical instruments for people of all ages. "Make Music" events around the country reinforce the benefits of making music with creative opportunities for anyone to pick up an instrument and play as a community on June 21.
A collection of over 1,000 outdoor concerts in New York City will offer a diverse and exciting array of music, from large-scale spectacles to street-corner concerts in 424 public spaces throughout all five boroughs. Any musician, amateur or professional, young or old, can join thousands on the streets of NYC and in other cities across the country for Make Music. The event began as a nationwide celebration in 1982 as France's Fete de la Musique.
In addition to more traditional concerts, MMNY's popular Mass Appeal events bring together hundreds of musicians and aspiring musicians in events designed for specific instruments or talents. From the rusty cellist to the professional bagpiper, everyone is welcome to join these events. All Make Music New York events are free to the public.
