On Make Music Day, you don’t have to have a band – or even an instrument – to be part of the music-making.
For the second year, we’re thrilled to partner with the Cheswatyr Foundation on a series of circle singing events across the country. A practice popularized by renowned vocalist Bobby McFerrin, circle singing is a vocal experience without sheet music or advance preparation, inviting everyone to join in and add layers of sound and rhythm as the spirit moves them.
Singers in New York City will gather in resonant spaces within three landmark parks (Prospect Park, Central Park, and the High Line) while other experienced facilitators will lead circle singing events in Chattanooga TN, Grand Rapids MI, Montclair NJ, Muskogee OK, Phoenix AZ, and more to be announced.
