Make Music Madison
Mary Sweeney
You’d have to try hard to not encounter something surprising at this citywide celebration of music involving 300 performances at 100 locations. If you are so inclined, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. The first 100 people to get to the Madison Children’s Museum at noon get a free harmonica for a lesson and group performance. Jarius King is doing a breakdancing workshop at 1:30 pm at Alumni Park, and the park will have a public piano out from 11 am-4 pm. Multiple jams are taking place at city parks, and a giant celebration of brass and drums is planned at Breese Stevens Field starting at 5 pm, topped off with a full dress rehearsal with the award-winning Madison Scouts Drum & Bugle Corps. Grab the insert from last week’s Isthmus or find the schedule at makemusicmadison.org. Get out there!
