REDMOND, WA - On June 21, 2016, Redmond will
participate in Make Music, a free celebration of music
around the world. Launched in 1982 in France as the Fête de la Musique,
it is now held on the same day in more than 700 cities in 120 countries.
This year, Redmond will participate in Make Music Day by
hosting an event in Downtown Park as part of the Moving Art Center season and
in partnership with the Old Fire House Teen Center. Performances will take
place from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
“We’re excited to bring this international day
of music-making to Redmond and encourage everyone to find their inner
musician,” said Mayor John Marchione. “Make Music Day is one way we focus on
the importance of the arts and culture in our community.”
Completely different from a typical music festival, Make Music is open to anyone who wants
to participate. All types of musicians are welcome to share their music with
the community. The festival is free and open to the public.
Performances will be featured on the Moving Art Center
stage at the Downtown Park. Celebration attendees can try out new instruments at
the School of Rock booth and even have the opportunity to make instruments. The
evening will end with a community rhythm circle lead by the Seattle World
Percussion Society. More event details can be found at www.redmond.gov/arts.

questions and more information, contact Jessica Rubenacker, Cultural Arts
Administrator, at jarubenacker@redmond.gov
