Make Music NWCT is a live, free musical celebration
on June 21, the longest day of the year, with concerts
on streets, sidewalks, and parks across the our
25-town region.

JUNE 21, 2018


Make Music Day is an International event where participating cities invite musicians of all types, skill sets, and ages to come together with venues both traditional and non traditional for FREE and open-air celebrations of music. This day is less about good or bad and more about experience and community. Feel free to organize any kind of music – traditional, as well as unusual or niche performances – as long as a venue is open to it, you are good to go! 
Make Music Day happens on June 21st every year, and this year that falls on the summer solstice. Let’s pack as much music as we can into the longest day of the year. 
2018 is the first year that our region of Northwest CT is participating, and as we join hundreds of other cities around the world, we hope to start off strong with  children singing from rooftops and jam sessions in parks right down the street from one another- along with other larger events in every town.

Christopher Cogliano
Originally from Long Island, Chris started accordion lessons at the age of 7 thus starting his musical journey which would also include dabbling in other instruments such as piano, guitar, and bass guitar, etc.
Chris holds a BA in Music from Queens College, and has played both rhythm guitar and bass in several rock bands over the years. He also played the bass guitar in the musical production Reefer Madness at the Warner Theater in Torrington, and has performed with the Connecticut Accordion Orchestra.  Currently he is the worship leader at Grace Life Church in Torrington CT.
On the accordion he enjoys playing a variety of styles including traditional Italian songs, tangos, polkas, standards, and old time gospel hymns.

Jeremy Driscoll
Jeremy is a life-long tapper who enjoys the conversation of sound that can be found when tapping on the steel of the Hang(pronounced hong). Although a quiet instrument, it speaks loudly when it tells the story of the moment in which the player and the hang express themselves.

Music Mountain Academy
Talented young artists from around the country will come together at Music Mountain for an intense week of music-making with the Verona String Quartet and other artist-faculty. These young artists will perform chamber music that showcases their work together and their love for classical music.

Bill Warford has been making musical noises for as long as he can remember.

Known for years as half of the sonic assault duo Northern Machine, currently finishing up their tenth album,
Bill began his solo project 'Songs From The Otherworld' in 2010 out of a desire to re-create his aural impressions gathered from various meditation, shamanic dreamwork and other alternate-reality experiences.
Working from the concept that all sounds can be songs when heard correctly, and influenced by wide swaths of experimental musics from the 1950's to present-day heroes, Bill commenced his own melding of drone based, nu-gaia meditation music with long-form psychedelia.


Songs From The Otherworld. Have you heard?
