From classical to folk, hip, hop to opera, Latin jazz, storefronts, and other public spaces on the longest day of the Last year over 200 concerts were given for Make Music LA, and even more are expected this year. Highlights of Make Music LA will include Mass Appeal events where the public is invited to bring their instruments.

This year will feature Brit Rodriguez leading Ukulele events, Tony White leading a Conn-Selmer, PBone Mini event, and Tom Nolan leading the Harmonica Mass Appeal events. Locations will be posted on the MakeMusicLA.org website along with musical performances in locations such as Downtown LA, South LA, Santa Monica, Monterey Park, and Pacoima among others.

Any musician, amateur or professional, young or old, is invited to take part by signing up at MakeMusicLA.org. Registration closes June 15th. Likewise, businesses, buildings, schools, churches, and other institutions can visit the website to offer their outdoor spaces as concert locations.
