Can that possibly be true? Were The Beatles really so much more than just four “Mop Tops”? And what made them such a strong force that their music is still popular and vibrant now, more than 50 years later? In this presentation, we’ll explore the phenomenon that was The Beatles - their originality and growth, ultimate sophistication, innovations, lyric depth, and much more. Join us for the discussion!
