Registration has closed, but please check back for other ways to take part.

Our organizers set up the framework for concerts – the rest is up to you! Artists and locations collaborate to produce the events, find electricity, and provide whatever equipment is needed.

Unlike most music festivals:

• New York City itself is your stage. We're not constructing stages (though some local promoters are doing so—and securing additional permits to do so). Performances generally take place at the same level as the audience.

• You have complete artistic control. It's your concert. If you want to perform with a different bass player than previously announced, or take an extended kazoo improvisation on Dies Irae, you don't have to ask our permission! (But let us know if we need to update your concert description.)

• Everyone can take part. From professionals to amateurs, from the mainstream to the unfashionably bizarre—if you can find a spot for your performance that works, you can be part of Make Music New York!
