A NOTE FROM SYLVIA
For most of us here in Minnesota, it feels like it has been summer for over a month already! It is hard to believe that summer is just now beginning in earnest. July in Minnesota means grilling outside with friends and family, spending time at a pool or lake, enjoying music and concerts alfresco, and fully appreciating nature and the outdoors. Then there are those summer days when staying inside, relaxing and keeping cool is at the top of the agenda, or perhaps a rainy day calls for indoor entertainment. Twin Cities PBS (TPT) is pleased to provide a wealth of new and diverse summer programming to keep you engaged- new seasons of old favorites, new series premieres, musical performances, and much more.
Here are a few July highlights on TPT:
As part of its commitment to support and present diverse content created by a broad array of storytellers, PBS presents The Latino Experience , a new three-part anthology series of short fiction and nonfiction films. Featuring 13 original films made by filmmakers working across genres, the shorts explore a wide range of experiences, perspectives, and styles to highlight the rich diversity of the Latino/a/x community across the United States and Puerto Rico. You can watch on Tuesday nights at 8pm starting July 6 on TPT 2. In addition, PBS presents another new and compelling four- part series, Icon: Music Through the Lens , that explores the thrilling world of live music photography. Icon: Music Through the Lens starts July 16, at 9pm on TPT 2.
The Latino Experience
New music programming includes Grammy Award-winning singer Gloria Estefan, who explores the origins of Brazil’s music through its people and offers an inside look at the creation of her new Brazilian-influenced album on Great Performances: Gloria Estefan: Sangre Yoruba , July 9 at 9pm on TPT 2. TPT’s own STAGE will showcase the talented Minnesota artist Charlie Parr: Live from Slab City on July 17 at 7pm on TPT LIFE. And American Masters profiles blues musician Buddy Guy, on July 27 at 8pm on TPT 2. And for the mystery and drama fans, don’t miss season four of Masterpiece: Unforgotten (starting July 11 at 8pm on TPT 2), a new season of Death in Paradise (starting July 8 at 8pm on TPT 2), and the premiere of The Indian Doctor on July 24 at 7pm on TPT 2.
