From soulful blues to rhythmic hip hop, the various genres
of American music truly reflect our diverse population and evolving
culture.The event ishosted by Montgomery County Community College at its

the programs also will include related concerts. The series is both
entertaining and informative and will allow the audience to learn more
about music and its role in our history and society. The programs are
perfect for classes, clubs, organizations or anyone who wants to develop
a deeper appreciation of America’s music.
