This wheeled event is the continuation of Make Music NY’s winter bike parades. Organized by Pat Spadine and Sam Sowyrda, this concert-in-transit will feature echoes of Eine Brise by revolutionary composer Mauricio Kagel, RPM by Pat Spadine and new additions to the growing repertoire of participatory music making for bike riders. This year’s pedaling starts at the southernmost tip of Manhattan, at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, and proceeds up the East River Bikeway.
Make Music Winter, first launched in 2011, is a free, outdoor musical event each December 21st that turns audiences into music makers. Inspired by Phil Kline’s annual Unsilent Night, a boombox parade that has become an international tradition, Make Music Winter transforms New York’s cityscape with participatory musical parades on the winter solstice, running the gamut of musical genres.
