“I was transported back into the recording sessions with the Beatles. With the way Scott presented, I really felt like I was there.”

The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is one of the most influential albums of our time by the greatest rock & roll group of all time. In Deconstructing Sgt. Pepper, composer, musician, and Beatles expert Scott Freiman looks at Sgt. Pepper and other songs recorded during the same time period from multiple angles, exploring the history behind the music. Using rare and unreleased recordings and video, Mr. Freiman walks the audience through the construction of songs, such as “A Day In The Life” and “Strawberry Fields Forever,” from take one to the final version. You don't have to be a Beatlemaniac to leave amazed at the Beatles' innovation in the studio and have a newfound appreciation for this extraordinary music! (approx. 2 hours)
