2010 Program

Monday, June 21
A one-day festival of over 1,000 free
concerts in parks and streets citywide
A guide to Play Me I’m Yours,
NYC’s street piano project
The streets are alive with the sound of music!
Make Music New York is back for a fourth year,
with over 1,000 free concerts in public spaces
throughout the five boroughs of New York City,
all on the first day of summer.
On Monday, June 21, from 10 in the morning until
10 at night, musicians of all ages and musical
persuasions — from hip-hop to opera, Latin jazz to
punk rock — will make music on streets, sidewalks,
schoolyards, stoops, plazas, cemeteries, parks and
gardens. As always, concerts are performed by
anyone who wants to take part, and enjoyed by
everyone who wants to attend.
In cooperation with the City of New York, this year’s
MMNY features an incredible array of special events.
From the visionary percussion music of Iannis Xenakis
surrounding the Central Park Lake pg.5, to a New
Orleans-style jazz parade pg.13, “Take Your Musician
To School Day,” 130+ bands of Punk Island pg.14, and
guitar-slinging office workers of Play Hard pg.13, there
is something for every listener.
And many ways to make music yourself: bring
your instrument and join a Mass Appeal event
,
sit down at a Play Me I’m Yours piano pg.7, or explore
interactive music technology in the Meatpacking
District pg.12. For full details, consult this guide, or
visit makemusicny.org for late-breaking updates!

17 stages. 130+ bands.
Sunday, June 20.
Governors Island.
10–5. Free.
Punk Island returns for a third year in 2010, with more
than 130 of the country’s loudest bands transforming the
ordinarily quiet Governors Island into a daylong punk /
hardcore paradise.
Bands will perform on 17 stages scattered around the
island, as free ferries transport revelers from Lower Manhattan and DUMBO to Governors Island every half hour,
beginning at 10 am.
Because Governors Island is closed on the day of Make
Music New York, Punk Island will take place the day before, on Sunday June 20th. Just like the rest of MMNY, all
performances are outdoors and completely free.
Punk Island begins at 10 am and ends at 5 pm sharp. Free
ferries leave every 30 minutes from the Battery Maritime
Building in Battery Park, Manhattan, and every 20 minutes from the Fulton Ferry Landing in DUMBO, Brooklyn.
No alcoholic beverages, pets, or weapons are permitted
on Governors Island. Punk Island is curated by Miguel
“Slug” Torres of Fat Bastard Productions.
