[Make Music New York](http://makemusicny.org/?ref=bklyner.com), a city-wide music festival, brings soul singers, indie guitarists, two opera companies, a children’s choir and scads more performers to the nabe today, turning our shops, eateries and public spaces into free concert venues.

The strums, bleeps and beats emanate from noon to midnight at locations ranging from Park Avenue to Fulton Street, Grand Avenue to Staint Edwards Place. While there’s lots of information at [MMNY’s website](http://makemusicny.org/?ref=bklyner.com), and printed schedules and maps will be available at various venues during the festival, we’ve compiled a handy list of local performance venues, showtimes and acts that you can use to plan your day of music.
