The City of Frisco is tuning up for Make Music Day, striking a chord with more than 25 free performances on Saturday. Mirroring global festivities, the city's lineup showcases a diverse range of activities from participatory workshops to live shows spanning from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. As detailed by the City of Frisco, the event embraces enthusiasts at every skill level, inviting professional musicians and first-time players alike to make some noise.
Highlighted events include a choir workshop with the Frisco Chorale and an anticipated performance by Ariana Ortiz & Mark Lafon set against the backdrop of Alec DeJesus' latest mural at the Frisco Discovery Center. Organizers aren't singing the same old song; they're broadening the scope with lessons in ukulele for adults, a Karate Dance Party, and Harmonica instruction, ensuring there's a beat for every step. Paige Points, a Play Frisco staffer coordinating the fest, told the City of Frisco, "It’s a community-building initiative that portrays music as a shared language. I am excited to see Make Music Day continue to take root in Frisco, Texas where we are all about bringing people together through creative innovation."
Adding to the melodic mix will be the Young Artist’s Music School, Noiseful Studios’ “Sounds and Stories,” plus a succession of singer/songwriters performing throughout heritage sites. The Verdigris Ensemble is scheduled to crown the evening with a special 8 p.m. show in the Frisco City Council Chambers. Though the concert is free, attendees are reminded to nab their tickets in advance for entry. Instrumental in fostering local arts, Play Frisco introduces two new pianos in its Community Keys initiative, designed and displayed for public enjoyment at Kaleidoscope Park and the Frisco Heritage Center.
