The Show Must Go On: The Story of Queen
GENINT 711.501
Osher (50+). In this course, we explore how Queen became a legendary rock band.
About this course:
There is no other rock band like Queen. They’re the only group in history that featured four equally talented songwriters, all of whom wrote at least one top 10 hit. They were the first to integrate elements of opera, musicals and other genres uncommon in rock music into their compositions. They even built some of their own gear, which helped define the band's sound. There are so many elements that make the band enthralling, but their story is easily the most riveting. In this course, we learn how the band went from humble beginnings to eventually becoming one of the most beloved and successful groups in the world. We explore everything from their musical evolution to their legendary performance at Live Aid to their fascinating personal lives and much more. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to videos for the duration of the course.Corporate Education
