First Ever 'Make Music Chicago' - Free, All-Day Music Event
The popular Rush Hour Concerts at St. James Cathedral
series is pleased to inaugurate Make Music Chicago, a live,
one-day, completely free music festival on the first day of
summer. People of all ages, music of all genres, and
musicians of all levels – amateurs, professionals and
marquee artists – are invited to gather throughout the day in
Chicago’s public spaces to engage in spontaneous music-
making. The festival culminates in an evening grand finale at
St. James Cathedral Commons.
Make Music Chicago is inspired by France’s “Fête de la Musique,” a national musical holiday marking its 30th anniversary this year. Since 1982, “Fête de la Musique” has become an international phenomenon, taking place on June 21 in more than 460 cities in 110 countries, including Germany, Italy, Egypt, Syria, Morocco, Australia, Vietnam, Congo, Cameroon, Fiji, Colombia, Chile, Nepal and Japan.
Partners of the inaugural Make Music Chicago include 98.7WFMT, Alliance Française de Chicago, the Consulate General of France in Chicago, Chicago Sister Cities International and St. James Cathedral. Comcast is the lead sponsor of the event.
