"The Beatles - 50 Years Later" at Washington Twp. Library
Musician, Author, and Music Professor Barry Wiesenfeld will present a Beatles retrospective at Washington Twp. Public Library
LONG VALLEY -- On Monday, June 25, at 7 p.m., Barry Wiesenfeld will present "The Beatles - 50 Years Later" at Washington Township Public Library. 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”? What made them such a strong a force that they’re still popular now, more than 50 years later? In this single-session class we will explore the phenomenon that was The Beatles - their growth, originality, musical innovations, and lyric depth. Join us for the discussion!
Barry Wiesenfeld is a freelance musician, a published author and is on the music faculty of SUNY and Ramapo College. He has accompanied Grammy-winning artists, performed on three continents, and has played on numerous recordings, radio and TV.
The program is free and open to the public, but registration is requested online or by calling 908-876-3596. Washington Township Public Library is located at 37 East Springtown Road, Long Valley, NJ 07853.
