MAKING CONNECTIONS – WORLD MUSIC IN OUR COMMUNITY
In addition to FREE professional and student events offered on all three of the Montgomery College campuses, we wanted to provide you with a place to connect with the abundance of incredible World Music events in the DC Metro Area. Here are some of the examples for the 2007 Season that exist right in your neighborhood!

Please feel free to email producer, Dawn Avery to add your name to the list, as we are sure to have missed some great connections. dawn.avery@montgomerycollege.edu (please note depending on the academic calendar, it may take a number of weeks for your link to appear).
