ALL WEEKEND

Ithaca DIY Music Festival
Fri, Sat, Sun | Noon to Midnight
Various locations, Ithaca

Once upon a time in Ithaca, NY... we don't know how, but series of six stringed instruments, forbidden vocal techniques, and terribly loud boom things were smuggled into this sleepy small town on the coast of Cayuga lake. Through many ups and downs, we find ourselves once again WITH AN HUGE EPIC BIG MUSIC FESTIVAL!!!

Ithaca Underground, The Electrozone, Unknown Stage, Fanclub Collective, and Practice At

Four Familiar Stages Across Downtown (and beyond)

Vendors of all wares

Three days of music from noon to midnight

Celebrate our beautiful music scene, together...

FRIDAY

TRL! Concert in the Gallery featuring The Cody Sisters
7:15 - 9:00 PM
The Rockwell Museum, Corning

The Cody Sisters band is the very heart of contemporary acoustic Folk and Bluegrass in Colorado, the United States, and the UK. Their propulsive instrumental solos and warm harmonies combine to grip the listener. Along with bass player Will Pavilonis, sisters Megan (guitar, mandolin, vocals) and Maddie (guitar, banjo, vocals) have forged a new sound that has no equivalent match in the acoustic world today.

With strong ties to traditional American acoustic music, they continue to stun their audiences both in the U.S. and abroad. 

Women of Americana: A Celebration of American Music
presented by the Corning-Painted Post Civic Music Association
7:30 - 9:00 PM
Corning Museum of Glass

The passionate and accomplished musicians of Women of Americana are honoring iconic works of luminaries as their contribution to the nation’s year-long celebration of America’s 250th birthday. This concert features singer and songwriter Brennen Leigh alongside fellow performer Cristina Vane and a band of roots musicians.

SATURDAY & SUNDAY

Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana
- Saturday at 7:30 PM at Cornell University’s Bailey Hall in Ithaca
- Sunday at 4:00 PM at The Park Church in Elmira

World renowned Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana will be heating things up in Ithaca on April 11 and Elmira on April 12.

Flamenco Vivo believes that the universal spirit of flamenco – with diverse influences from Roma, Arabic, Jewish, Spanish, African and Latin American cultures – gives this art form a unique power to build bridges between people - just what we need right now!
