Join us for a Free lecture series Nov 12 & 19, 2025. FREE, but registration is required in advance through Eventbrite link.

Once upon a time, the clarinet occupied a central role in this music we call jazz, especially during that brief period known as the “Swing Era,” roughly late 1935 until the end of World War II, when jazz and popular music were one and the same. We will explore the lives, careers, and personalities of Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Woody Herman, as well as their lasting impact on jazz history. In doing so, we will examine a multitude of issues in the history of American music during the 20th century. Recordings, videos, and live performance all keep this class lively and engaging.

The lecture series will be led by Seth Kibel and will be held on Wednesdays, November 12 and 19, 2025 from 9:45am-Noon each day (there will be a short break). Participants only need to reserve a spot for Nov 12, and you are welcome to come to one or both dates. This series is made possible through the Bel Air Arts and Entertainment District with a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council.
