It was a huge honor to direct this one day city wide event and thank you to all who joined in the celebration of making music – on the longest day of the year.

Make Music Day is a global celebration of music and of making music, held on the summer solstice, June 21. The festive day began in France about 30 years ago and has spread around the world. Chattanooga’s chapter began in 2016 under the direction of Taryn Balwinski and Brian Auten, which they have turned over to Mark Anderson for 2022.
