Fall Lecture Series: The Roots of Rock n Roll

In the mid-1950s, Rock n Roll exploded onto the world stage, echoing the profound social transformations of the post-war period. Through a unique fusion of blues, gospel, country, and pop, this electrifying new music laid the foundation for a new era in music history. This engaging lecture will explore the vital contributions of each genre to the development of rock n roll, illustrating how they influenced the sound and culture of this revolutionary music movement. Presented by Quincy resident Professor of Music at Wheaton College, this toe-tapping talk will provide insights into the rhythms and melodies that defined a generation and transformed the landscape of popular music.
