State Troubadour Celebrates Make Music Day in Guilford
Kala Farnham joins the free celebration of music around the world on the summer solstice with a performance at Connecticut's oldest house
Connecticut State Troubadour Kala Farnham will join the free celebration of music around the world on the summer solstice with an outdoor performance on the front lawn of Connecticut’s oldest house. Make Music Day originated in France in 1982 and has grown into a global annual event on June 21, the longest day of the year. The seventh-annual Make Music Day event at the Henry Whitfield State Museum in Guilford will be held 6-8 pm.
Kala Farnham is a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter whose songwriting has been described as a reinvention of traditional folk with influences of pop, Broadway, and world music. Appointed State Troubadour in 2022, Farnham serves as an ambassador of music and song and promotes the Connecticut experience and culture through song among its residents.
Attendees are invited to bring their own lawn chairs, blankets, and picnics – or enjoy refreshments from The Greenery food truck and Sully’s Good Humor Truck. The concert will be canceled if it rains. For more information, call 203-453-2457 or e-mail whitfieldmuseum@ct.gov.
