Make Music New York On Cortelyou
Calling all musicians and singers! Lead your
neighbors and friends with a musical set welcoming the first day of summer by performing
with Make Music New York. Flatbush/Ditmas Park has some of the city’s
best performers as well as some great local acts. We are encouraging you to share your talent
and celebrate summer with us.
Now in its eighth year, Make
Music New York, “the largest music event ever to grace Gotham” (Metro
New York), is a unique festival of 1,000+ free concerts in public spaces throughout
the five boroughs of New York City, all on June 21st, the first day of summer.
MMNY takes place simultaneously with similar festivities in more than 726
cities around the world — a global celebration of music making.
From 10 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
