BURLINGTON, Mass., June 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID) will host a three-day celebration of the music community that creates, produces, performs and distributes its music with Avid creative tools and solutions.

Avid Connect Live Nashville kicks off with the Welcome & Spotlight Session on July 18 at 11 a.m. CDT at Belmont University’s Johnson Center.
