Tomorrow may be the shortest day of the year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pack in some great music and dancing! On the winter solstice, Thursday, 21, the non-profit [Make Music](http://www.makemusicny.org/winter/?ref=bklyner.com) is featuring two musical events in Brooklyn for your holiday enjoyment.

First, Flatfoot Flatbush will parade down Flatbush Avenue with a group of “dancers, fiddlers and pickers” playing old-timey tunes and performing the percussive Appalachian dance known as “flatfooting.” The parade kicks off from **354 Flatbush Ave**, near Grand Army Plaza, and will travel across Prospect Heights, with stops along the way for singing, dancing and audience participation. The event kicks off at sunset—**a precise 4:32 pm**—with an afterparty to follow.

Later, in Williamsburg, the contemporary classical [JACK Quartet](http://jackquartet.com/?ref=bklyner.com) will play a new piece in total darkness at artist space [National Sawdust](https://nationalsawdust.org/?ref=bklyner.com), located on **80 North 6th Street**, off Wythe Avenue. They’ll play the U.S. premiere of Georg Friedrich Haas’s *String Quartet No. 9\.* The event is set for **7:00 pm.**
