A day for making music, not just in the UK but around the world

Just a reminder that this year’s Make Music Day UK, the annual celebration of music-making that takes place in communities across the world, is in a week’s time – on 21 June.

Make Music Day builds on a concept started in France in 1982 – that a day each year should be dedicated to music, with no barriers to people playing and enjoying live performance – and has now spread to more than 125 countries.

The ‘rules’ of Make Music Day are very simple:

1. Events and activities must be free to take part in and watch

2. Events must take place or premiered on 21 June

3. Events must involve music

This means that events can be online or in-person, can be professional or for beginners, can be any genre, any scale, and involve everyone and anyone.
