Jazz and Blues - originated from the African American tradition - were a propelling force 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 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.
