We are currently planning MAKE MUSIC DAY 2025 (our 4th in the Norristown Area) – Mark your calendars now!
What is Make Music?
Launched in 1982 in France as the Fête de la Musique, Make Music is celebrated on the same day in more than 2,000 cities in dozens of countries around the world.
Completely different from a typical music festival, Make Music is open to anyone who wants to take part. Every kind of musician — young and old, amateur and professional, of every musical persuasion — pours into community spaces to share their music with friends, neighbors, and strangers. All of it is free and open to the public. We invite musicians, rappers and instrumentalists of all kinds to collaborate on making June 21 a musical masterpiece. Singers, church choirs, jazz combos, rock bands, glee clubs, MCs, marching bands, mariachis, and every other kind of musician, of any age group or skill level, are all welcome.
If you want to perform please register at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Fvg84dOjWBa-XX50c-KTR3C24R36otjt7krQX9Um86A/edit?pli=1 We will build a schedule based on musician interest with performances throughout the day.
If you’d like to host performers at your cafe or community space please email Jeanne at JCove@mclinc.org. If you want to volunteer please email Jeanne at JCove@mclinc.org.
