This summer we will explore the lives and music of members and composers of our “Big Bands” and “Big Voices” era. In addition to instructor’s lectures, a variety of taped lectures, documentaries and short biographical clips of composers and performers will be featured. The lectures will include Hollywood versions of some of these individuals’ life stories through films. We will look at the real stories of these individuals versus Hollywood’s portrayals.

Instructor/Coordinator: Ellie Monroe
