2016 Program

2016 Program
A one-day
festival of
over a
thousand
free concerts
in parks
and streets
citywide
Make Music New York is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. This program is also
supported, in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. Funded in part by a grant from the NYC & Company Foundation.
Make Music New York returns for its tenth year,
with over a thousand free concerts on the first day of
summer!
On Tuesday, June 21, from 10 in the morning until 9 at
night, musicians of all ages and walks of life will perform
in over 400 public spaces throughout the five boroughs,
including plazas, sidewalks, gardens, closed-off streets, and
even a pier in the Hudson River.
From established international artists to middle school
choruses, music is played by anyone who wants to take
part — and enjoyed by everyone who wants to listen. Just
like the city itself, the range of offerings is wide-ranging
and expressively free. From Beethoven symphonies to indie
rock extravaganzas, from Punk Island to accordion quartets,
from hip hop cyphers to brass band marathons, there is
something for every listener.
But don’t just listen — join the celebration and make
music yourself! Bring
your instrument to a Mass
Appeal event, play a
Boomwhacker at the Staten
Island Yankees game,
or just sit back and enjoy some
chamber music in
Midtown after work.

ears!
Mass Appeal Event
Street Studio
One of Make
Music New York’s
signatures, the
Mass Appeal is back for an
eighth year, giving New Yorkers
without groups of their own
a chance to take part in the
music-making, by gathering hundreds of musicians to
play pieces written for single
types of instruments. There are
more than twenty events this
year, open to everyone from
the complete newbie to the
polished professional.
Highlights of this year’s Mass
Appeals are three new pieces:
Shimmer, Here and The Gauntlet. Shimmer is a new work for
cymbals, composed by Brian
Chase of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
and sponsored by the Avedis
Zildjian Company. It takes place
at Madison Square Park, starting at 3:30 pm. The Gauntlet,
taking place on the High Line,
is another new event. Composer Sxip Shirey calls for two
rows of 30 singers to engage
in a musical dialogue as the
public experiences the piece
by walking at their own pace
through the “tent” of vocalists.
And Here, a Mass Appeal event
for music boxes by composer
Angélica Negrón, takes place at
Transmitter Park in Greenpoint,
Brooklyn at 630 PM. Thanks to
sponsor Kikkerland, the first 50
participants will be able to take
home a music box (and, you
are also welcome to bring your
own!)
Block Party
An unusual event puts fans
of the Staten Island Yankees in
the position of playing backup percussion to Survivior
frontman Dave Bickler. In Eye
of the Tiger, fans will learn to
play Boomwhackers (pitched
percussion tubes) to the chorus
of this famous song.
Returning Mass Appeals will
include accordions, bagpipes,
double reeds, French horns,
guitars, harmonicas, mandolins, percussion, pianos,
recorders, stones, synthesizers,
ukuleles, and voices.
Throughout this program you
will see this symbol for each
Mass Appeal event:
Mass Appeal is made possible with major
support from the Music Performance Trust Fund
and The NAMM Foundation

Street Studios
Starting at 11am on June 21, eight small mobile recording studios will appear on sidewalks throughout
NYC. These “Street Studios,” coordinated by Make
Music New York and Found Sound Nation, will engage passersby and MMNY festival musicians in the
spontaneous, collaborative production of original
music.
Each street studio will be run by a team of two DJengineers. These producers will spend a few hours
recording, quick-mixing, looping, and playing back
the live sounds, while interacting with the public
who stop by to sing, play an instrument, or record
sounds that become part of the musical track. The
producers will then have two days to mix down one
five-minute track to present at the “Street Studio
Smackdown” party at National Sawdust in Brooklyn
on Thursday, June 23rd (80 North 6th Street, 8 pm to
12 am). Everyone who records material on June 21st
is invited to attend.
Find the
in this program to find a Street Studio in
your neighborhood, and stop by on June 21!

Uptown Funk is a special project for Make Music
New York’s 10th year that will feature funk, jazz, and
soul concerts at venues throughout Harlem. MMNY
is partnering with Harlem Arts Festival and several
neighborhood establishments to bring out local talent
in a celebration of Harlem’s American musical heritage and to create a lively, walkable route full of diverse
interpretations of “funk.” As much as Uptown Funk will
function as an opportunity to showcase the musicians
of Northern Manhattan, the full day of programming
will also spotlight community clubs, restaurants, and
outdoor spaces that appeal to a wide range of New Yorkers. Some, like Silvana and The Shrine, have become
institutions in Harlem over the last decade, and others
like MIST and Corner Social are a bit newer but have
made important additions to the landscape all the same.
This year promises to be the first of many Uptown Funk
celebrations of the music and culture of Harlem.
