Program Description

Event Details

A respected musicologist once referred to The Beatles as "one of the most transforming entities of the 20th Century music," and claimed that they changed the course of popular music forever. Can that possibly be true? Were they really so much more than just four rock 'n roll "mop tops"? And, what made them such a strong force that their music is still poplar nor, more than 60 years later? 

This presentation is the sequel to the original talk on the FAB FOUR and in it, we'll explore even more aspects of why The Beatles were pioneers!
