Today is June 21, the longest day of the year. On this day, the festival Make Music NY, now in its fourth year, celebrates music in all five boroughs of New York City with public performances of every possible type.
From their website, makemusicny.org:
"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."
Writer Alex Ross has some suggestions on promising performances here, including a couple of performances of Terry Riley's In C.
Sounds like a wonderful idea to me.
