CALL TO VT MUSICIANS & VENUES:
Vermont musicians and music venues: June 21 is international Make Music Day, and you're invited to make it happen across Vermont!
Join music makers in 1,000 cities and 120+ countries who 'come out and play,' celebrating music in their communities all over the world. It started in France 40 years ago and Vermont is the first statewide participant in this totally inclusive festival that everyone can be a part of. Every style of music is welcome in every kind of place, from front porches to main street sidewalks, library steps to parks and anywhere that people can share and enjoy music with each other. Musicians are encouraged to find a venue in their community before they register and to work out equipment needs, if any, with that venue. Venues are encouraged to find local musicians and to host them on that day.
