SAN DIEGO TO MAKE MUSIC FOR BALBOA PARK CENTENNIAL<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

San Diego Makes Music is a free concert experience that invites all community musicians to participate on Sunday, June 14 at 3 p.m. in the Plaza de Panama at Balboa Park.<\/p>\n

Mainly Mozart has invited 33 high-level amateur musicians to sit side-by-side with members of the all-star Mainly Mozart Festival Orchestra under the baton of Music Director Michael Francis. Since there\u2019s not enough room onstage for everyone to play, musicians of all ability levels are encouraged to participate from the audience. This is a day for all of San Diego to join forces in celebration of music making and the Centennial of Balboa Park, one of the city\u2019s most iconic landmarks and cultural hubs.<\/p>\n

\u201cSan Diego Makes Music is a project that elicits the interest of amateur musicians in our community to perform classical repertoire alongside professional musicians,\u201d Mainly Mozart director of artistic operations Drew Cady said in a statement.\u00a0\u201cThrough this experience, we hope to empower and give them encouragement to strive toward a higher level of skill in their pursuit as musicians. An hour side-by-side with a professional musician can fortify one\u2019s intentions to aspire as a musician and play with more commitment and passion.\u201d<\/p>\n
