2016 Grammy Nominee Miguel Zenón visit to the Holyoke Public Library
Wednesday, February 10, 2016 at 7:00pm
at the Holyoke Public Library

The public is invited to a community conversation with Miguel Zenón on February 10 from 7-8 p.m. at the Holyoke Public Library. The Center for Puerto Rican Studies (CENTRO), together with the UMass Fine Arts Center and the Holyoke Public Library, host a discussion of cultural identity, inspired by the question that sparked Zenón’s Identities Are Changeable project: “What does it mean to be Puerto Rican in 21st century New York City?” The evening will include a musical video presentation by Zenón, and a lively talk and conversation.
 
Identities Are Changeable is Miguel Zenón’s latest album, just nominated for a Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Album. The album was written around a series of interviews Zenón conducted with a diverse group of New Yorkers of Puerto Rican descent. The six part song cycle (with an overture and postlude to bookend the album) uses music and especially rhythm to embody the answers Zenón’s interviews generated, about identity, culture, language and traditions. Identities Are Changeable was chosen as one of the best recordings of 2014 by NBC News, NPR, The Boston Globe, Rhapsody, All About Jazz and Jazz News Magazine, among others.
 
The most celebrated altoist of his generation, Miguel Zenón continues to explore the music of his native Puerto Rico in his new Identities Are Changeable song cycle, bolstered by a 12-piece big band. The Identities Big Band will perform at the UMass Fine Arts Center Concert Hall on Thursday, February 11 at 7:30 p.m. Chamber Seating will make for an intimate and lively Latin jazz performance by the multi-Grammy nominee and his band.
 
The Library event is relaxed conversations between our attendees and our guest speaker.

Parking available along the street in front of the new entrance to the library and in generous lots adjacent to and immediately across the street from the library.

In this slide lecture, local historian Leo Labonte answers these questions and more as he describes the dams and waterwheels constructed in the early industrial era at the Great Falls near South Hadley.  He also tells the story of  the two wooden dams at Holyoke and the building of the stone dam that still holds today.
