About This Event
Course Title: 10947 A Celebration of American Music from the 1970s
Schedule: 4 Sessions | W | 10/14/2026–11/04/2026 | 12:30PM– 2:00PM | Urban Research and Outreach Center | Room 107
Course Description:
In this course, we will celebrate the music of this volatile decade, while appreciating the context in which it emerged. The music of the 1970s can be understood as a reaction to the advances of the sixties. While rock styles and audiences become irreversibly fragmented, a new generation of fans emerged, throwing off the 60s burden of creative thought and imploding towards disco.
Course Instructor Bio: John Leisenring is BME & MM, U of WI and DMA, U of Illinois. 40 years university teaching music, 65 years professional musician (trombone), symphony/jazz. Performed in 35 states & nine countries.
The event is free and open to the public.
