The magic of The Beatles explained
A Unique Evening with Howard Goodall
December 16th The George Theater
World-renowned Beatles expert Howard Goodall will be in Houston to share his insights into the creative genius of the Fab Four. Gow Media and St. Luke's Friends of Music have collaborated to create the event, which will take place Monday evening, December 16th, at the beautiful George Theatre located at 5420 Westheimer. Doors will open at 6:30 and includes light bites both before and after Goodall's presentation at 7:30.
Goodall, one of Great Britain's top composers, has a longstanding friendship with Paul McCartney and a deep understanding of the legacy of the Beatles. Goodall will discuss how particular songs came together; the Beatles' innovative use of instruments and their impact on the development of popular music. Goodall's talk will be followed by a Q&A with Ken Hoffman, perhaps Houston's biggest Beatles fan.
This is an exceptional, rare opportunity -- the first time Goodall has given his presentation on the Beatles in the United States. Tickets are now on sale and make a compelling early holiday gift for Beatles enthusiasts!
