Summer's officially here on the 21st of June, which means it's time for Make Music New York 2010! Make Music New York is a city-wide, all day celebration of live music in all five boroughs (and in many other cities around the world as well)!

This year there will be over 1000 performances on the streets and in the parks of the city and two of those performances will feature yours truly and the return of the FRENCH HORN NATION! Last year, MMNY started a program called Mass Appeal that called for large groups of a SINGLE instrument to perform during MMNY 2009 and I was tapped to organize the french horn ensemble. Well, we're back for 2010 with, hopefully, many more citizens and twice as many performances (this year we have - two!). So, to get your shot of massed french horn music, come visit the FRENCH HORN NATION! at 1pm in Madison Square Park (Broadway and E23rd St.) and at 6:30pm at the Archway under the Manhattan Bridge in DUMBO (Water St. and Anchorage Pl).

Also here's a heads up for the upcoming MTQ gig at the Local 269 at 9pm on July 26th. More to come on that one in the next week or so.
