The Schemel Forum World Affairs Luncheon Seminar - We've Got to Get Ourselves Back to the Garden: Inside the Music & Times of the Woodstock Generation

Friday, 08 September, 2023

The legendary Woodstock Festival during the summer of 1969 comes back to life through zooming in on drum fills, bass lines, trumpet licks, and background vocals, and zooming out to the racial, cultural, and social turmoil of a revolutionary decade that led to a new musical voice for America. This unique program will mix chapter excerpts, primary research, and fantastic, classic rock audio clips to take a decade that has become part of our collective nostalgia and bring it thrillingly back to life. 

Rob Kapilow, Doctor of Humane Letters, Honoris Causa '09, composer, conductor, music commentator, and author. 

Edward Leahy, Jr. Hall, The Kane Forum, 235 • 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Please also visit Performance Music's website at Scranton.edu/music for details on a complimentary and open-to-the-public What Makes it Great performance by Rob on Friday evening.
