TRANSCRIPT
Monday, June 21A 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!

Sing for Hope presents
About Sing for Hope
“What Sing for Hope does is wonderfully simple. It maintains a roster of compassionate, world-class artists who donate time and talent to the humanitarian causes that inspire them.”
—Dr. Muhammad Yunus2006 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and
Sing for Hope Board Member Founded by opera singers with a desire to lift their voices for social change, Sing for Hope mobilizes more than 600 world-class artists— from classical musicians to photographers to Broadway performers — who donate time and talent in our volunteer service programs that benefit schools, hospitals and communities.
Sing for Hope is an “artists’ peace corps”, and our three volunteer service programs are:
Art U! dynamic arts and leadership education for more than 2,000 under-resourced youth each year
Healing Arts in-hospital performances and workshops for more than 1,500 patients each year
Community Arts events that raise awareness and funds for humanitarian causes, and projects that dismantle barriers to arts accessibility
Each Sing for Hope project is defined by the needs of the community, the generosity of professional artists, and our belief in the transformative power of the arts.
About Play Me, I’m Yoursand Luke JerramTouring internationally since 2008, Play Me, I’m Yours is an artwork by artist Luke Jerram. Luke Jerram’s multidisciplinary practice involves the creation of sculptures, installations, live arts projects and gifts. Since his professional career as an artist began in 1997, Luke has created a number of extraordinary art projects that excite and inspire people around him. After the two-week Play Me, I’m Yours installation, Sing for Hope will donate all 60 pianos to local schools and hospitals, enriching local communities for years to come.
Sing for Hope thanks Joseph and Judi Flom, Beth Rudin DeWoody and the Rudin Management Company, The Bill and Ann Ziff Foundation, Eva Haller, Goldman Sachs, Fred Patella & Con Sordino Piano Services, Clear Channel Communications, Rubenstein Communications, The Sidhu-Singh Family Foundation,The Soar Foundation, Bank of America, HAI, and all of our generous supporters who have made Play Me, I’m Yours a possibility for New York City this summer.
Play Me, I’m Yours, organized by Sing for Hope in collaboration with Make Music New York, was presented in cooperation with the City of New York.
To support Play Me, I’m Yours and Sing for Hope’s other programs that make art available to all, please visit us online at www.singforhope.org
Sing for Hope is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. makemusicny.org
“Many people never touch a piano, so we are bringing pianos to the people. This project is made possible by Sing for Hope’s ‘artist peace corps’ – professional artists from New York’s leading companies who volunteer in Sing for Hope’s outreach programs.” —Sing for Hope Co-Founding DirectorsCamille Zamora and Monica Yunus

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 Man-hattan 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 be-fore, 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 min-utes 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.
