Gaylord Hall, Worner Campus Center
In honor of the Class of ’76 50th Reunion, experience the music of the sixties with Craig Werner ’74.

Take an in-depth look at the music of the sixties during three immersive sessions informed by Werner’s decades of experience examining the culture and meaning of music.
