Ring in the summer with a worldwide day of music. On June 21, celebrate Make Music Georgetown and enjoy live music across town. This is a free, all-ages, all-inclusive event. Anyone can participate!

Music on the lawnLaunched in 1982 in France as the Fête de la Musique, Make Music Day is celebrated each year on the summer solstice in more than 1,000 cities in dozens of countries worldwide.

Completely different from a typical music festival, Make Music is open to anyone. Every kind of musician, young and old, amateur and professional, and of every musical persuasion. All are invited to share their love of music with friends, neighbors, and visitors.

Let’s celebrate the musician in everyone! Join us on Saturday, June 21, 2025.

Later this spring, the Make Music Georgetown site will be updated with a list of the performers and hosts participating throughout Georgetown. Sign up to be a musician or host here.

Make Music Georgetown is in its inaugural year, and we couldn’t be more excited to debut this incredible festival in such a magical town. Music can be performed by anyone throughout the day, culminating in an evening concert by Kira McSpice at The Granite. She will be playing all new songs from her unreleased album, Saturnism, one of which was written at The Granite.

Opening for Kira McSpice is Stadia from Hartford, led by composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Dylan Healy. They will play songs from their album Moss Moment as well as new material.

We are honored to have them for Make Music Georgetown. Performances will take place in the Sanctuary/Main Hall of the Granite Church. Free to attend. Join us!

ABOUT KIRA MCSPICE
New York based singer-songwriter Kira McSpice crafts a haunting and deeply personal strain of dark folk, gothic art-pop, and experimental music. A classically trained cellist, McSpice now performs on guitar, omnichord, and voice, weaving dense, layered loops that evoke a soundscape both ethereal and deeply visceral. Her work balances raw vulnerability with meticulous artistry, weaving complex sonic narratives rooted in themes of trauma, mental illness, and the natural world. Learn more at kiramcspice.com.

ABOUT STADIA
Stadia is the alias of Hartford-based composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist Dylan Healy. In the studio and on stage, Dylan is joined by a lush, six-piece group whose shared intuition flows through song as a river of energy. Their music is textural, dynamic and open— a warm wind through an endless field. With two beloved EPs under their belt (2020’s “Mood Ring” and 2022’s “Moss Moment”), the Hartford-based group is currently working on their anticipated full-length album.

Celebrate the longest day of the year with science, art, music, and community.

Bruce After Hours at the Bruce is funded by The Giving Bee Family Foundation.
