Last year for Make Music Day 2022, the San Francisco Public Library featured a trio of San Francisco Symphony musicians -- cellist Amos Yang, bassist Charles Chandler, and violist Katie Kadarauch.
This coming Wednesday we are happy to welcome back 2Low - the duet of Amos Yang and Charles Chandler, performing from 4 to 5 PM in the Main Library's atrium.
Earlier in the day, from 12 noon to 1 PM, check out Purple Glaze, the house band of the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, at Larkin Street steps near the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library weekly book sale.
Make Music Day was an initiative of the French Ministry of Culture that began in 1981. Known as Fête de la musique (Music Festival or Music Celebration) it is also a happy homonym of Faites de la musique (Making Music).
Make Music Day is currently celebrated in 120 countries and takes place annually on the Summer Solstice (June 21). Musicians everywhere, amateur and professional alike, are urged to play music outside or in public spaces and parks. The only stipulation is that all concerts must be free to the public, performers donate their time free of charge.
You can find a complete listing of performances at the Make Music Day San Francisco website.
