Scott Freiman, the New York composer, producer, and engineer who delivers unique, acclaimed lectures on the music of the Beatles, returns to the museum. One year after his well-received talks on Sgt. Pepper and the “White Album,” Freiman will present three new and different programs over three successive days. Employing rare audio and video clips, and recounting anecdotes about the recording sessions, Freiman walks audiences through detailed analyses of the songwriting and production techniques used by the Fab Four to record their landmark albums and singles.

In this program Freiman traces the birth of the band and the creation of their famous first singles with a treasure trove of rare audio and video and anecdotes about the composition and production of classic tracks. (Multimedia, approx. 2 hours)
