Make Some Noise For Make Music New York's Winter Parades
Got a song in your heart? Musically-inclined locals are invited to propose “a new, sonic, public art work” for Make Music New York‘s December 21 Winter Parade. The organization says:
Inspired by Phil Kline’s annual Unsilent Night – the boombox parade that has become an international tradition – Make Music Winter transforms New York’s cityscape with twelve participatory musical parades on the winter solstice, running the gamut of musical genres…
The work should be suitable for participants moving outside, through New York City streets in December. We are particularly interested in proposals that complement or depart from previous parades.
Proposals, due by October 1, should allow for “musicians and non-musicians alike to participate without prior rehearsal.” MMNY will help the winner (who will be notified October 15) finalize the concept, decide on a parade route, secure permits, and promote the event, as well as providing up to $500 for parade materials.
