July 11, 2019: Death of Disco
Doors open at 6pm. Program starts at 7:00pm.
On the eve of the 40th anniversary of the infamous disco demolition which took place at Chicago’s Comiskey Park, join us for a special edition of Rear View Mirror Sessions. We’ll explore the world of disco – it’s major players, unsung heroes, part in the gay liberation movement and the backlash endured. Also, we’ll examine the role disco played in the creation of house music, a genre and culture created in Chicago.
