Beatlemore Skidmania

Every other year, Professor of Music Gordon Thompson teaches a "Beatles Seminar," a semester-long analysis of the artists (through several contemporary biographies) and their work (through recordings and videos). 

In connection with that course, "Beatlemore/Skidmania," a concert featuring an assortment of campus musicians, was launched as an annual, informal, end-of-semester musical celebration. It has become one of the biggest events at Skidmore, annually drawing students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community as both performers and audience, and filling Filene to capacity.
