The Beat That Changed the World: The Early Years of Rock 'n' Roll

From the swing and rhythm & blues of the 1940s to the electrifying birth of rock ‘n’ roll in the 1950s, and the cultural shake-up of the 1960s and early '70s, this engaging multimedia program brings history to life through unforgettable sounds and stories. Featuring classic music clips, iconic images, and fun audience participation, we’ll celebrate the artists, DJs, fashions, and teen culture that transformed a generation—and the world.
