Monday, June 21 

A one-day festival of over 1,000 free 

concerts in parks and streets citywide 

A guide to Play Me I’m Yours, 

NYC’s street piano project

The streets are alive with the sound of music! 

Make Music New York is back for a fourth year, 

with over 1,000 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 make music on streets, sidewalks, 

schoolyards, stoops, plazas, cemeteries, parks and 

gardens. As always, concerts are performed by 

anyone who wants to take part, and enjoyed by 

everyone who wants to attend. 

In cooperation with the City of New York, this year’s 

MMNY features an incredible array of special events. 

From the visionary percussion music of Iannis Xenakis 

surrounding the Central Park Lake pg.5, to a New 

Orleans-style jazz parade pg.13, “Take Your Musician 

To School Day,” 130+ bands of Punk Island pg.14, and 

guitar-slinging office workers of Play Hard pg.13, there 

is something for every listener. 

And many ways to make music yourself: bring 

your instrument and join a Mass Appeal event , 

sit down at a Play Me I’m Yours piano pg.7, or explore 

interactive music technology in the Meatpacking 

District pg.12. For full details, consult this guide, or 

visit makemusicny.org for late-breaking updates!

About Sing for Hope 

“What Sing for Hope does is 

wonderfully simple. It maintains 

a roster of compassionate, worldclass 

artists who donate time 

and talent to the humanitarian 

causes that inspire them.” 

—Dr. Muhammad Yunus 

2006 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and 

Sing for Hope Board Member 

Founded by opera singers with a 

desire to lift their voices for social 

change, Sing for Hope mobilizes 

more than 600 world-class 

artists— from classical musicians 

to photographers to Broadway 

performers — who donate time 

and talent in our volunteer service 

programs that benefit schools, 

hospitals and communities. 

Sing for Hope is an “artists’ peace 

corps”, and our three volunteer 

service programs are: 

Art U! dynamic arts and 

leadership education for more 

than 2,000 under-resourced 

youth each year 

Healing Arts in-hospital 

performances and workshops for 

more than 1,500 patients each year 

Community Arts events that 

raise awareness and funds 

for humanitarian causes, and 

projects that dismantle barriers 

to arts accessibility 

Each Sing for Hope project is defined 

by the needs of the community, the 

generosity of professional artists, 

and our belief in the transformative 

power of the arts. 

About Play Me, I’m Yours 

and Luke Jerram 

Touring internationally since 

2008, Play Me, I’m Yours is an 

artwork by artist Luke Jerram. Luke 

Jerram’s multidisciplinary practice 

involves the creation of sculptures, 

installations, live arts projects and 

gifts. Since his professional career 

as an artist began in 1997, Luke has 

created a number of extraordinary art 

projects that excite and inspire people 

around him. After the two-week Play 

Me, I’m Yours installation, Sing for 

Hope will donate all 60 pianos to local 

schools and hospitals, enriching local 

communities for years to come.

Make Music 

New York’s 3rd Annual 

17 stages. 130+ bands. 

Sunday, June 20. 

Governors Island. 

10–5. Free. 

Punk Island returns for a third year in 2010, with more 

than 130 of the country’s loudest bands transforming the 

ordinarily quiet Governors Island into a daylong punk / 

hardcore paradise. 

Bands will perform on 17 stages scattered around the 

island, as free ferries transport revelers from Lower Manhattan 

and DUMBO to Governors Island every half hour, 

beginning at 10 am. 

Because Governors Island is closed on the day of Make 

Music New York, Punk Island will take place the day before, 

on Sunday June 20th. Just like the rest of MMNY, all 

performances are outdoors and completely free. 

Punk Island begins at 10 am and ends at 5 pm sharp. Free 

ferries leave every 30 minutes from the Battery Maritime 

Building in Battery Park, Manhattan, and every 20 minutes 

from the Fulton Ferry Landing in DUMBO, Brooklyn. 

No alcoholic beverages, pets, or weapons are permitted 

on Governors Island. Punk Island is curated by Miguel 

“Slug” Torres of Fat Bastard Productions.
