WAITING LIST - Rockklubben: Classical Music in Pop and Rock

Pop and rock music draws more from classical composers than one might think. Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Mike Oldfield, Muse, Kim Larsen, and Procol Harum have all borrowed from the classical tradition - with melodies by Bach, Beethoven, and Rakhmaninov - either as direct versions of classical works or as something entirely new built on the same foundation.

Henrik Nørgaard from Rockklubben guides the evening and shares his research into how classical music has influenced pop and rock.

Rockklubben meets 8 times over the winter at Biblioteket i Herning, room ABC. Each time a speaker - often club members themselves - presents a topic with film clips and recordings. The club is for anyone curious about rock and interested in listening and discussing. No background in music history is required.

Participation is free but requires registration, as places are limited. There is currently a waiting list - contact Dorte Grout at tel. 21 99 59 46 or bibdg@herning.dk.
