About
Make Music Day celebration comes from France’s “Fête de la Musique”, and is now a world-wide event, designed to explore the joy of music and music making, in all its forms. In the U.S., Make Music Day is presented by The NAMM Foundation, and coordinated by the Make Music Alliance.
Music Box Inc., a local music school, is now leading the Make Music Germantown Chapter of Make Music Alliance, and will facilitate activating all the music making activities on June 21, in the greater Germantown area. Make Music Germantown is now part of the international music-making ecosystem, happening in over 1,000 cities across 140 countries, on a same day.
YOU, your organization, your family and friends, as well as your fellow musicians, are all invited to participate! Participating in all the various FREE music making activities across our area is a great way for all Germantown residents to celebrate the summer solstice, enjoying the longest day of the year, while sampling a buffet of musical merriment.
We encourage everyone to find their inner musician! Grab an instrument, make an instrument, find some pots and pans, form a jam band, or join forces with others to play free public “concerts” wherever you can, wherever you are!
All activities are open to music makers of all ages, skill levels, and musical persuasions. The more creative, the better!
