Rock ‘N Roll: Songs of the 60s

The tumultuous political and social changes of the ‘60s were reflected in its music— more expressive, creative, and complex.

Youthful disillusionment brought more somber themes—but also hopeful songs about community and forbearance. Join Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan as they remember a decade that introduced some of rock and roll’s most memorable and bittersweet music.
