This year's Make Music Day (MMD) programme features a hybrid of virtual and in-person events, accompanied by a live broadcast online to showcase the creative projects taking place on 21 June.
The festival day is designed to encourage musicians to perform and bring joy to music fans and their communities, with national and international events available for all. There are hundreds of free events and opportunities to take part in, listed in a programme on the MMD website. You can also add your own event.
A branch of the day is dedicated to celebrating MMD in schools, with a number of resources designed for the classroom. A plethora of education institutions have already signed up to take part: hundreds of schools across Darlinton and Durham will also be performing their Big Play; A live streamed Big Sing from 11 o’clock will be included in partnership with Durham Music and Charanga; thousands of Wilshire schools will be performing ‘Together’ – commissioned by Wiltshire Music Connect for the occasion. Composers of 'Together' Tim Gilvin and Louise Jordan are encouraging more schools to join in, and even invite them to write their own lyrics.
