Kenneth Womack & Scott Freiman Host Fab Four Master Class 2.0

CultureSonar and Wonderwall have announced Fab Four Master Class 2.0, a refreshed and revamped return of the popular online experience for music fans who crave an in-depth look at legendary recordings, coming in October 2024.

World-renowned Beatles historian and author Kenneth Womack and producer, composer and Deconstructing the Music series creator Scott Freiman are again teaming up to deliver this unique series of classes, which in this incarnation will encompass a projected five-year, detailed study of the Beatles. Says Freiman, "This will truly be the most comprehensive Beatles history course around."

The original FFMC series, which ran from 2020-2023, took participants from "Love Me Do" through the mid-1970s Beatles solo albums - all the while building a strong and vibrant community of classmates who became friends and even traveled together on a "class trip" to London and Liverpool. "The conversations that take place during our sessions are some of the most interesting portions of the evening," says Womack.

FFMC 2.0 will begin Year One ("The Birth of the Beatles") this fall with "Rock & Roll Before the Beatles" (view trailer). Each class installment will include curated content related not only to the band but also to the participants, such as:

· Musical history and early influences

· Rare outtakes from albums

· Deep dives into composition and production techniques

· Stories behind songs and the people involved

· Exclusive musical breakdowns and audio clips

· A community portion of each class for conversation, questions and more

Don't miss the inaugural session of Year One, Rock & Roll Before the Beatles, taking place Wednesday, October 23rd at 8 pm ET via Zoom. Individual class tickets ($10 each) and year-long subscription tickets ($75 for 10 sessions) are ready for purchase here. A discounted price for high school and college students is also available. Upon registration, participants will receive a syllabus and link to join the upcoming class. Each presentation will last approximately 90 minutes, including Q&A time.
