The City of Madison is excited to again sponsor an event that turns the entire city into a stage for showcasing our great array of musical talent.
Make Music Madison is a free, citywide celebration that takes place on the first day of summer, June 21st. In its 2013 inaugural event, Madison joined 700 communities worldwide in this global musical celebration. Debuting with 280 concerts and growing in 2014 to 480 performances at more than one hundred venues across town, Madison is already the second largest Make Music event in the Western Hemisphere!
Make Music Madison invites neighborhood associations, musicians, businesses, non-profits and all Madisonians to create performances and to showcase the music and creativity of their neighborhoods. Artists and venues can register to perform or to host a performance at www.makemusicmadison.org. Registration is open from March 15th to May 8th.
In 2015, Make Music Madison will again bring music and fun to neighborhoods all across Madison. With a focus on emerging musicians, there will be a lot of diversity in musical talent spanning genres, ages, ethnicities, and skill levels. Music will be performed in all kinds of locations, including parks, community centers, fire stations, public and private outdoor spaces and more. Each neighborhood plans and hosts its own celebration, aided by citywide matchmaking software and publicity.
Then, on Sunday, June 21st, all of Madison is invited to rove the city sampling new musicians and new neighborhoods throughout the day.
Learn how you can help bring this celebration to your neighborhood this June by emailing info@makemusicmadison.org or visiting: www.makemusicmadison.org.
