SUMMARY:Get Up & Go/Senior Friendship: CLASSIC 1960’S ROCK POSTERS
DESCRIPTION:Join Russ Bertetta and Rodney Paul to travel back in time and rediscover the highly original posters that publicized the innovative music at the heart of San Francisco’s rock scene. The folk-rock music of mid-1960s San Francisco included an exciting visual counterpoint: the trippy designs used to advertise musical lineups at The Fillmore and other local venues. The Posters have become a celebrated art form\, and the era is remembered not only for its psychedelic sounds but also for these fascinating and often confounding images. This lecture provides you with ways to help mine these artworks for meaning based on your own experiences and perceptions.

SUMMARY:Food For Thought: Music and the Movies
DESCRIPTION:Music and movies are a match made in heaven. The right soundtrack can make a giant gorilla sympathetic or turn a starlit drive into a scary nightmare. When film transitioned to Technicolor\, music became grander than ever. The battle of film to stay relevant and competitive with television led to some of the most creative and epic musical compositions\, including the most recognizable and memorable sound bytes of all time. Explore the changing technology of sound and the developments in film scoring through the decades with Deborah Rosengaus.
