Meeting Room A

Join us for a Q&A with composer Dr. Jorge Sosa as he shares how his personal journey of immigrating to the U.S. with "only a suitcase and a dream" has influenced his professional musical works.

Join us at the Allen County Public Library (Main Branch, Meeting Room A) on Friday, April 24th at 4:00 PM for an intimate conversation with composer Dr. Jorge Sosa. Dr. Sosa will share the story of his immigration journey: arriving in the United States at age 26 with nothing more than "a backpack, a suitcase, and a lot of dreams." During our time together, we will discuss how those experiences have shaped and inspired his musical works. Don’t miss this opportunity to talk about the intersection of art, identity, and the American dream!

This program is presented by Heartland Sings.
