2007 was the first year of Make Music New York, founded by Aaron Friedman, inspired by Paris’s “Fete de la Musique,” which Aaron experienced in 2006.
In our inaugural year, there were 560 performances, a feature in the New York Times, and a performance of In C at Cornelia Street Cafe -- among so many others!
