Music and Religion in Popular Culture: The Case of Orthodox Jews and Christian Contemporary Music

Since the 1960s religious practitioners have created their own music to express their beliefs and values to shield the community from popular culture.  The Irony is they use the popular culture that they reject from American culture in their music.  This presentation by Mark Kligman (UCLA) will highlight important composers and groups with audio and video examples of Orthodox Jewish and Christian Contemporary Music.

RSVP required here for in-person attendance.
