MUSIC APPRECIATION PROMOTION

 

A Half-Century after Woodstock

Presentation by Paranjoy Guha Thakurta

 

What made a music festival in a farm in upstate New York that was held on 15 August 1969 unique in the world and why does it still resonate among many fifty years later? The answer lies in the manner in which it fused and mixed music and politics.

 

Chair:  Prithviswar Sen, an amateur guitarist
