Program Description

Event Details

A respected musicologist once referred to The Beatles as “One of the  most transforming entities of 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 popular now, more than 50 years later? In this single session class we’ll explore the phenomenon that was The  Beatles - their growth, originality, musical innovations and lyric depth.  Join us for the discussion! 

Barry Wiesenfeld is an internationally recognized award-winning musician, a published  author, and is on the music faculty of SUNY and Ramapo College. He has  accompanied Grammy- and RMI-winning artists, performed on three  continents and has played on numerous recordings, radio and TV. Barry’s  lecture series has been presented both around the U.S. and abroad.  For more information or to contact Barry, please visit
