Make Music New York is a NYC-based nonprofit that organizes two annual, participatory musical celebrations: Make Music New York on the summer solstice, and Make Music Winter on December 21st, the winter solstice.
Now in its eighth year, Make Music New York is the largest music event ever to grace Gotham as a unique festival of over 1,000 free concerts in public spaces throughout the five boroughs of New York City, all on June 21st, the first day of summer. MMNY takes place simultaneously with similar festivities in more than 726 cities around the world — a global celebration of music making.
The solstice signifies the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. This year, the solstice arrived this morning at 6:51 A.M. EDT.
The timing of the solstice depends on when the Sun reaches its farthest point north of the equator.
In temperate regions, we notice that the Sun is higher in the sky throughout the day, and its rays strike Earth at a more direct angle, causing the efficient warming we call summer.
This summer solstice is the day with the most hours of sunlight during the whole year.

Carmen was an accomplished artist in all media. Her pottery displayed her love of nature; and her oils and watercolors, her abstract way of looking at life. She was also an accomplished equestrian.
