Make Music Vermont brings free, live music to communities statewide.
On June 21, 2026 (the summer solstice), Vermont joins the global Make Music Day celebration—welcoming musicians of every level to perform in public spaces all across the state.
Featuring
All the Rivers
All the Rivers is a global ensemble of immigrant and refugee musicians from 10 countries who now call Vermont home. Founded in 2024 by musical director Avi Salloway (Billy Wylder / Bombino), the group has quickly emerged as a vibrant artistic force for belonging and justice, shaped by the political, environmental, and social pressures facing immigrant communities worldwide.
This performance features Steeve Valcourt and Nadine Niles of Haiti’s Lakou Mizik; Colombian singer-songwriter Cintia Lovo; balafon master Ousmane Camara of Guinea, violinist Ernesto Villalobos of Veracruz, Mexico, West African percussionists, and Japanese American drummer Daiki Hirano, in collaboration with Salloway.
Singing in six languages and weaving musical traditions from across the globe, the ensemble creates high-energy, transformative performances that invite audiences to dance, sing, and join together in solidarity. Each show becomes a space of story and connection—amplifying immigrant voices while highlighting the cultural richness new Vermonters bring to our state.
