CANCELLED! Women in World Jazz: Music as an Expression of Women’s Dissent

Jazz and Blues were a propelling force in the in the U.S. during the 1920s, providing females 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 Women in World Jazz Junior Performers to pay tribute to that hard-won battle. This program is part of the year-long celebrations of the Women’s Right to Vote Coalition of Newton. The concert is geared towards adults and youth (ages 10 and older). Funded by the Newton Cultural Council.
