25 Songs Linking American Music and Social History (1895-1968)

Join Brian Torff as he offers insights into different forms of American music while you nosh on treats and a glass of wine. Listening Sessions will be approximately 75 minutes long.

"It is our story in sound. The evolution of American popular music may be our greatest gift to the world. Blues, rock, jazz, country, soul, hip-hop and beyond have been a soundtrack of the American experience. This series explores American music through concerts and listening sessions with special guest artists, along with workshops and special presentations in public schools.

Our culture is a musical one and valuing that collective story is essential to our identity as a nation – revealing insights of who we are. The American Music Series celebrates the rich musical history of our past while sharing insight on the music of tomorrow. Quick Center patrons are offered a more in-depth experience as we invite you to listen, learn and share in our cultural heritage. It is a story and a revolution we can dance to."
