This holiday originated in France and is an international celebration where people are encouraged to play music outdoors or attend free concerts. Today, we honor musicians who try to bring the gift of music to a wider audience.
Sing for Hope is an organization whose mission is kin to the spirit of World Music Day, by bringing professional musicians to perform in public spaces in New York City.

Random Acts of Classical Music
"You’re at a farmer’s market, looking for that elusive perfect tomato, when suddenly people around you burst into song. No, it’s not a particularly vocal group of produce vendors. It’s a new trend in classical music: spontaneous performances in public places, or flash concerts."
