Music on Saturday: Women in World Jazz Celebrate 100 Years of Women's Suffrage

Saturday, January 303:00—4:30 PMOnline

We're kicking off Music on Saturday in 2021 with a unique virtual concert from local musical group Women in World Jazz! 

Jazz and Blues - originated from the African American tradition - were a propelling force in the U.S. during the 1920s, providing women of all ages with an outlet for rebellion in a time when they were also fighting to win the right to vote. Join us as we celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment with a concert featuring Women in World Jazz along with the all-girl Women in World Jazz Junior Performers to pay tribute to that hard-won battle.

In this virtual concert, members of the ensemble share information about the music and the featured composers, as well as engage the audience with a Q&A and discussion at the end of the program. 

This concert will be held online through Zoom — register to receive the link to join. Questions? Email Lauren at lpfendner@minlib.net.

This event is part of the Music on Saturday Series. Thank you to the Friends of the Belmont Public Library
