Music New York celebrates the musician in all of us; connects New Yorkers to their communities and with each other; and energizes the shared social spaces that make NYC a cultural capital. Our mission is ambitious, inclusive, adventurous and fun, and we accomplish it by producing our annual flagship celebration each Summer Solstice on June 21st-the first day of summer and longest day of the year. On this special "music holiday," music makers of all ages, abilities and backgrounds are empowered to take center stage and share their skills and passions through live performances in public plazas and parks, on sidewalks and in front of shops, and in partnership with cultural institutions and businesses across all five boroughs.
Since its debut in 2007, the music holiday has become the city's largest single-day music festival, averaging over 5,000 musicians of all ages and persuasions performing in 1,000+ concerts in over 400 unique locations, in what The New York Times has dubbed "Exhilarating... with prodigious displays and subtle experiences alike. It's like somebody's dream of community."
