On June 21 the city will be alive with music!
From Rockaway to Parkchester, from the South Shore to Harlem there will be something glorious for everyone!
June 21 is as important a date as there is in this festival. A close second might be this Friday April 24: the last day to sign up for the festival on our website:

Before we get to putting on the show, we must find all those lovely locations and masterful musicians who are the heart of the festival. As amazing as it is to see all the places and people signed up, we would love to find a way for more of them to take part by signing up on our website:

How can you help?
Glad you asked. This Tuesday (Apr 21) and Thursday (Apr 23), we will be hosting phonebanks to get 2009 registrants connected with each other. We’ll provide the phones, you’ll provide that soothing voice to assist people through the process of finding a venue.
Both phonebanks are at Transportation Alternatives, 127 W. 26th Street, Suite 1002, Manhattan (map).
RSVP by emailing me at chris@makemusicny.org
If you have wanted to help out and haven’t so far, this is a great opportunity to get involved. And even if you can’t make it, make sure you send all your friends a reminder to sign up on the website (all together now):

Over sixty volunteers have begun organizing their neighborhoods for MMNY. But for an event this enormous, we need many more! (Especially in Astoria, Bushwick, Harlem, the Upper West Side….)
