Latin American Jazz artists - Claudia Acuña, Magos Herrera, and Felipe Salles - share their personal stories and reflections on immigration reform in a new virtual concert series on Third Row Live
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (PRWEB) February 26, 2021 The lives of immigrants are a dialogue between the memory of what was left behind and the assimilation of new experiences. Perhaps it is their liminality - their sense of simultaneously being ostracized and embraced - that enables these Latin American artists to approach jazz, the most American of art forms, and make it their own.
In response to the newly introduced immigration reform bill, Third Row Live presents a series of concerts which celebrate the contributions of immigrants and mark a new chapter in our national dialogue.

Things to Do: Photography exhibit, unique dance experience, virtual theater and old-time radio show A Convenient Soldier: The Black Guards of Maine can be viewed online through the Maine Historical Society.
