Chicago French Market (131 N Clinton,
312-575-0306) once again is proud to be a selected 2012 performance site for this
year’s Make Music Chicago, a 24-hour musical holiday celebrated in over 110
countries and 460 cities around the world.
From 1 p.m. – 3.p.m. Thursday, June 21, the musical merriment will
commence as amateur and professional musicians showcase their talents at the
market. Make Music Chicago is inspired
by France’s “Fête de la Musique,” a national musical holiday encouraging musicians
of all calibers to perform in the streets and allow patrons to enjoy different
musical cultures from around the world.
Originating
in Paris as an all-night celebration, this year’s festival will mark 30 years
of musical appreciation for all genres across the board. Come and participate
in the festival that will be heard throughout countries around the world
including Germany, Italy, Egypt, Syria, Morocco, Australia, Vietnam, Congo,
Cameroon, Fiji, Colombia, Chile, Nepal, and Japan. The event is complimentary
for both musicians and audiences.
