FREE MUSICAL PROGRAMS IN DUMBO JUNE 21: 10 STAGES OF FREE CONCERTS AS PART OF MAKE MUSIC NEW YORK.
New York, NY – Make Music New York, described by city officials as “one of the largest musical events in the city’s history,” is back for a fourth year of free concerts in public spaces throughout the five boroughs of New York City, all on the first day of summer. On Monday, June 21, from 10 in the morning until 10 at night, musicians of all ages and musical persuasions — from Hip-hop to opera, Latin jazz to punk rock — will perform on streets, sidewalks, stoops, plazas, cemeteries, parks and gardens. Alex Ross of The New Yorker called last year’s installment “impressive – more than 800 events across five boroughs. Subversivemusical disruptions invite urban dwellers to abandon their tight routines and let the rhythms of the city take over.”
This year, for the first time, there will be ten stages of music in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn. All performances are free and outdoors and will happen “rain or shine.” Whether you are young or old, in a stroller, a bicycle or on your feet, music will surround you from every corner of Dumbo — and ring in summer. Be prepared for a day of acoustical treats!
