One day, 40 sites, 13 hours of nonstop music, 1,000 musicians — all free. Make Music Chicago returns for a third year of music from Hyde Park to Evanston with plenty of sites in between: Lincoln Park Zoo, River North cathedrals, and Loop office lobbies. Friday, June 21, 9am–midnight.
If you're a musician, play along in the Rise and Shine Orchestra, Broadway and Opera Sing-along, or Sousapalooza. Head to St. James Cathedral for the spectacular Grand Finale and a Harmonica Blowout with Joe Filisko. Read more, in Transmission.
