After five years of music on the longest day of the year, Make Music New York is excited to launch an innovative new festival next month on the longest night of the year, called Make Music Winter.
If you are a singer or musician — and even if you aren’t — we invite you to take part!
Make Music Winter is inspired by composer Phil Kline’s annual Unsilent Night, in which a meditative, joyous electronic piece is played through dozens of boomboxes carried by volunteers through the East Village on an evening in late December. Unsilent Night has taken place since 1992, drawing crowds of over 1,000.
Launching next month on Wednesday, December 21st, Make Music Winter expands this cult holiday tradition into a festival of one dozen musical parades, each with its own distinct type of music, in neighborhoods across New York City.
Like Make Music New York, Make Music Winter is free, outdoors, and profoundly participatory.
Bring your instrument, your voice, or your hands and join brilliant new projects for Bells, Boomboxes, Brass Bands, Electric Guitars, iPhones, Percussionists, Parranderos, Singers, Strings, and more!
Details are available on our website. We look forward to having you with us!
