Make Music Pittsburgh began in 2015, when mayor Bill Peduto announced his support for street performing without a permit, and local residents seized the moment to come outside on Make Music Day!
Twelve years on, Make Music Pittsburgh has grown citywide, under the leadership of Brighton Music Center. This year’s program features a jam at Veterans Hospital with over 40 ukulele players, performances by Pittsburgh Festival Opera and the Calliope Folk Music Society at Schenley Plaza, a Fathers’ Day Music Party in Shaler Township, and much more all over town.
