Manhattan Producers Alliance (Manhatpro) will once again partner with Make Music on Wednesday, June 21 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM as part of Make Music Day in New York City. Manhatpro’s event will take place at La Plaza De Las Americas, a public market and pedestrian plaza located on 175th St., between Broadway and Wadsworth Ave. in Manhattan’s Washington Heights.

They will create a temporary, open-air recording studio on an Upper Manhattan street corner. Manhatpro members will collaborate with residents and passersby to create and record spontaneous, original music.

Other small mobile recording studios will appear on sidewalks throughout NYC as part of this year's Make Music Day. These “Street Studios” will engage passersby and MMNY festival musicians in the spontaneous, collaborative production of original music. Each street studio will be run by a team of two DJ-engineers. These producers will spend a few hours recording, quick-mixing, looping, and playing back the live sounds, while interacting with the public who stop by to sing, play an instrument, or record sounds that become part of the musical track. The producers will then have two days to mix down one five-minute track to present at the “Street Studio Smackdown” party on June 23.

All Make Music Day events are free and open to the public. For more about Make Music Day, go to http://www.makemusicday.org

Headquartered in NYC, the Manhattan Producers Alliance has over forty members with industry experience ranging from film composition to Broadway shows, to Emmy and Grammy winning studio production. ManhatPro has leveraged the rich tradition of studio recording in the City to create a network of professionals that share resources and industry expertise in order to succeed in an increasingly fragmented marketplace. Member meetings and events take place all over the City at such venues as Soundtrack Studios, NYU Steinhardt, the National Opera Center and Lincoln Center.
