Tomorrow Never Knows:  Deconstructing the Beatles “Revolver” ~ Tuesday, May 8, 2012
The Beatles’ Revolver is a groundbreaking album that routinely tops “Best Album” lists.  The 1966 album launched a period of studio experimentation for the Beatles that coincided with the end of their concert performances.  With memorable songs such as “Eleanor Rigby”, “Yellow Submarine”, and “Tomorrow Never Knows”, the Beatles pushed popular music to a place it had never been.  Hosted by composer, producer and Beatles expert Scott Freiman, this popular presentation SOLD OUT last February and has been hailed as “pure MAGIC”.  Volunteers are need in the Box Office and to serve as Ushers.
