Temple University Libraries Fall 2011 Programs
Music, Music, Music!
What is it about music that unites people and that tells the human story? Inspired by Temple University Press' publication of the story of the Electric Factory, the Libraries' fall 2011 public programs are centered around music.
This series explores many facets of music, from criticism and journalism to entrepreneurial musical experiments; from deep Philadelphia traditions to explorations of jazz, indie music, gospel and more.
