5 Things To Do This Week – 9/2/20

Newton Cultural Alliance highlights virtual arts & culture things to do

NCA is keeping you connected with each other and with your favorite local arts and culture organizations. 

*Join the Newton Free Library on Wednesday, September 2nd at 4:00 PM as jazz/blues guitarist Paul Speidel brings his interpretations of the traditional styles to the virtual stage. Jazz and blues are simultaneously old and new styles of music. Every time a new generation discovers the language, styles, musical forms and rhythms of old, they add their voice to the chorus of those that preceded them. Click here for more info.
