Event Details

Join us for a multimedia presentation on ‘Doo Wop’ Rock ‘n Roll!  Explore the musical, social, and cultural (and religious!) roots of the music. Listen to examples from black, white, and integrated groups and from all five boroughs of New York City. We’ll hear how this music, in its innocence and its quest for harmony, so beautifully conveyed the poetry of inner-city life.

Lecture by Robert Cohen.  Please register!
