Make Music Day is an annual celebration of music-making that takes place in communities across the world on the 21st of June.
As part of the We Make Music Instrument Library program, we’re celebrating by having a day of music here at the Mitchell Library.
Performances start at 10am and will be staged on the ground floor through the day. Given the open-plan nature of the ground floor, tickets are not required, but space might be limited at certain times.
The Solace Choir will begin proceedings at 10:00. They'll be performing several songs including the premier of a song they have composed and written themselves. In relaxed, weekly sessions, the choir works in collaboration with Music Broth to develop their musicianship, singing, voice work and creativity together. Their performance today is supported by Scottish Refugee Council as part of Refugee Festival Scotland.
Next, from 11:00 we welcome students from Glasgow schools showcasing the fabulous work being done with pupils in the city.
Hyndland Secondary will be treating us to performances from their Woodwind Ensemble and Recorder Consort. Shawlands Academy will treat us to a performance from their String Quartet.
The 13:00 lunchtime performance will come from the Sitare Singing Group. Glasgow Sitare is a community singing group for those who identify as South Asian. The main aim of the group is to bring this community together to explore their identities through singing.
From 14:00 students in S1 and then S4 from the Glasgow Gaelic School will perform traditional Gaelic songs for us.
Then, to send us
off in style at 15:00, the Tinderbox Orchestra will
bring the house down with their fabulous take on what an orchestra sounds like!
Bringing together rappers and singers with heavy brass, strings, woodwind and a
thundering backline, Tinderbox's groundbreaking orchestra are sure to have the
library jumping!
