Coming up Next...
The group will add context to the conversation by sharing how the instrumentation used in a popular music setting was shaped by important historical, economic and sociological phenomenon such as Slavery, Segregation, Prohibition, Immigration, the Great Depression, World War II, the rise of the Teenager, and more.
Accompanied by a multimedia presentation and several dazzling performances, From Ragtime To Rock offers a new and deeper understanding into how American (indeed the world's) popular music came to sound as we know it.
