Calling all Beatles fans! Join us for Deconstructing Abbey Road. Part listening party, part lecture, part backstage pass, you’ll be transported to Abbey Road Studios with tales of the Fab Four’s legendary recording sessions.
In Deconstructing Abbey Road, Beatleologist Scott Freiman leads you through one of his most in-depth “deconstructions.” He will take you on a track-by-track journey explaining the inspiration for the songs and their evolution in the studio. The Beatles’ Abbey Road is a masterpiece filled with classic Beatles songs, such as “Come Together”, “Something”, and “Here Comes the Sun”. George Martin told the Beatles to think “symphonically,” and they responded by creating the remarkable side two song suite.
Abbey Road was the last time that the Beatles recorded together at EMI Studios — soon-to-be-christened Abbey Road Studios after the album’s release. Despite the bittersweet atmosphere that surrounded the recording sessions, The Beatles’ outstanding songs and performances together with George Martin’s orchestrations produced an album that continues to be regarded as one of the best albums ever created.
Scott Freiman has presented his lectures to sold out audiences throughout North America at theatres, museums and corporations, such as Pixar, Google, and Facebook. He has also lectured at colleges and universities and has taught a 13-part course at Yale University entitled “The Beatles in The Studio.” His six part series, Deconstructing the Beatles, aired on PBS stations nationwide in February 2025.
Scott’s lectures have entertained audiences of musicians and non-musicians alike, from pre-teenagers to octogenarians. Once you’ve attended one of Scott’s presentations, you’ll never listen to The Beatles the same way again!
