On Thursday, July 31st at 7:00 PM we will present the second panel in our annual series highlighting "Musical and Cultural Connections." These conversations seek to explore the transformative power of music through dialogue about artistry, identity, heritage, and intercultural community. This year's focus is on the connection between Caribbean and Latin American culture and classical music. Panelists include Ricardo Morales, clarinetist; Adrián Montero, classical guitarist; Dr. Luis Viquez, assistant professor in orchestral conducting and director of orchestral studies at URI; and Founder and Executive Director of the Rhode Island Institute for the Puerto Rican Institute for Arts and Advocacy, Lydia Perez. This event is free and open to the public.
