Join us as we travel through time and reflect on the people who shaped our communities, across generations, through music. Professor Stephen Armstrong of CT’s first Age-friendly University, Central Connecticut State University, will transport you through the decades in this 6-part series taking place Wednesdays from May 25 - July 13, 2022. He will provide a look at how music impacted how we lived, mirroring our response to the times. You will also learn about how you can find ways to participate in creating an age-inclusive society from wherever you live, learn, and recreate.

Elvis Presley - June 8, 2022 @1PM ET

During this session we will analyze the impact of Elvis Presley on 1950s culture. We will discuss the importance of the influence Elvis had on shaping a generation of young adults during the 1950s, ultimately altering the music of that decade. John Lennon of the Beatles stated "Before Elvis, There Was Nothing"; during this session we will evaluate the meaning of that statement and what a community listened to before, during and after the decade.
