Looking Through a Glass Onion: Deconstructing The Beatles’ White Album

Join Scott Freiman as we film Looking Through a Glass Onion: Deconstructing The Beatles’ “White Album,” the initial presentation in our In Performance at the Jacob Burns Film Center series. By purchasing a ticket you agree to be part of our filmed audience for this very special event that will be broadcast to cinemas around the country later this year. Scott is also presenting lectures for Rubber Soul, Sgt. Peppers, and Revolver! Click links for showtimes.

In Looking Through a Glass Onion: Deconstructing The Beatles’ “White Album,” composer/producer Scott Freiman takes Beatles fans young and old into the studio with the Beatles as they create their bestselling album, The Beatles (commonly referred to as the White Album).

Released in 1968, the White Album’s thirty songs span almost every style of music—from hard rock to country to chamber music to avant garde. Its recording took place during a remarkable year in Beatles history that included the death of Brian Epstein, the creation of Apple Corps, and a trip to India to study meditation.

In this two hour multimedia presentation, Mr. Freiman transports his audience into Abbey Road studio for a look at the revolutionary techniques used during the production of “Revolution,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Blackbird,” and other songs from the White Album. It will be an educational journey into the creative process of The Beatles performances and recording sessions, allowing the audience to see and hear the evolution of these groundbreaking songs and their lasting influence on popular music.

Musicians and non-musicians, Beatles fanatics and casual listeners will all enjoy Mr. Freiman’s presentation. You will never listen to the Beatles or any other music the same way again!

The views and opinions expressed in the lectures are Mr. Freiman’s, and do not necessarily reflect the views of, nor imply approval from, endorsement of, or any affiliation with Apple Corps., The Beatles, or The Beatles estates.
